I also had this issue after a recent update. The actual error seems to be caused by something in a different package (in this case gitsigns.nvim). The downstream package has been fixed with release tag v0.5 but calling :PackerUpdate wasn't fixing the problem. Turns out, I had pinned a specific commit in my config. So make sure if you're pinned to a specific commit that it's at least d7e0bcbe45bd9d5d106a7b2e11dc15917d272c7a for this specific package
