Uli Kohler reported this problem to me on Thursday, and I reported it to StataCorp tech support. <adoupdate> relies on a file my system produces, but the format of that file has not changed. I am exchanging messages with StataCorp on this matter.
As Michael indicated, whatever the problem is does not affect the use of -ssc- to install or update individual packages: only the automated operation of <adoupdate>.
