after upgrade to latest mint, upgrade manager has overflow error when refreshing list

[zolstarym]

After upgrading to mint 21.1, the upgrade manager says could not refresh the list of updates. apt update works fine.

Same issue here. Update was done via Update Manager. Fast servers from Germany selected after reboot. Now red exclamation mark of update manager is visible in status bar and error message "Aktualisierungsliste konnte nicht aufgefrischt werden" (Update list could not be refreshed) apt update in terminal shows no problems.

Exactly the same issue. apt (commandline) works, Update Manager gets class OverflowError.
