pm2 update fails with an error

[vicke4]

What's going wrong?

pm2 update fails with the following error.

Be sure to have the latest version by doing `npm install pm2@latest -g` before doing this procedure.

Node.js v20.10.0

All my apps are running. But, pm2 list returns no process.

How could we reproduce this issue?

Sorry. I'm not sure what broke pm2. But, after my code changes, pm2 started behaving weird. pm2 list didn't return anything in the stdout. It was taking forever. I restarted the server to make it work.
