Hi, I use the latest version v0.1.25

Does this error have anything to do with the clangd installed on my computer? I found that its version number 13.0.1-++20220120110924+75e33f71c2da-1~exp1~20220120231001.58 looked very strange.

Yes, I think the issue is related to the update check not handling the format of this version number correctly.

A fix related to this was landed a while ago in clangd/node-clangd@fd4795c, but there may be some cases it doesn't handle.
