I have this same problem and have tried all suggestions except rolling back. However, I don’t have time machine installed and I’m not sure how to manage to roll back without access to an older install. Is there anywhere I can get access to the previous version? Thanks

I’m in the other thread mentioned above. That file exists for me, I also upgraded to 1.29.1.6316, and Mac version is 10.13.5 High Sierra. UPDATE : How would I know if it’s damaged ? It has a modified date from early this morning

I can read it’s contents but it also seems to contain a lot of control characters I can dm it to you if that is possible ?
