Not enough values to unpack

After upgrade to : 2.1p26, with Distributed monitoring enabled and pushing config to slave (Activate on selected sites) I get the the following error (“not enough values to unpack”). This have workd without issues for many years before this upgrade…

2.1p26
Ubuntu 20.04 (also tried 22.04)

Error message:
Started at: 12:27:10. Finished at: 12:27:14.
Got invalid data:
Internal automation error: Error running automation call restart (exit code 1), error:
An error occurred: Error creating configuration: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2)

the function only returned 2 values instead of the expected three ones.

Correct, thats what is says. But how to fix it?

I downgraded Check MK to 2.10p16 (the version I was running before the upgrade) and then it works with this error.
