I installed the new fix by the advertised command: sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing
When I try it, it looks like this:

$ sudo qubesctl --max-concurrency 1 --templates state.highstate

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/qubesctl", line 102, in <module>
    main()
  File "/bin/qubesctl", line 80, in main
    runner.run()

    pool = multiprocessing.Pool(self.max_concurrency)

    return Pool(processes, initializer, initargs, maxtasksperchild)

    for i in range(self._processes - len(self._pool)):
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'int'

I'm on a fresh Qubes 4.0 Installation and I'm having issues detailed in #3768.
I don't know what to do now.
