Greetings Adam,
  I am trying to run TLU on a Mac mini 2018.  The Mini is running
Catalina 10.15.7.  I have installed MacTeX 2020 and TLU 1.49.  Here is
my account of what happens when I start TLU.

Launch TLU.
See "TeX Live Utility wants to make changes."
Enter password and click OK.
TLU opens its main window with columns Package, Status, etc.
TLU opens alert dialog with title "TeX Live Utility Internal Error" and
  text starting "An uncaught exception was raised."
Click Show Details. I have appended below the text that appears in the
   window.

Any thoughts?  Thanks.       Cheers,
----------------
