err detected with bash command /usr/lib/anon-shared-helper-scripts/apt-get-update-simulate - Whonix Error Script Bug

Decided to redo my VM for Whonix and my gateway came up with this script bug

err detected with bash command /usr/lib/anon-shared-helper-scripts/apt-get-update-simulate

does that mean it just failed to update and I need to sudo apt-get update?

Could you please run this command and then post the result here?

sudo bash -x /usr/lib/anon-shared-helper-scripts/apt-get-update-simulate ; echo $?

I will fix this error in whonixcheck.

Updating as usual is ok.
