To give a little more detail, there was a bug with comps file creation
for today's updates so the file didn't match the checksum. Pup will
catch this problem (yay!), but it gives you a completely unhelpful error
message "unable to start due to a configuration error", with a Details
box containing: "None". Oops. 

Like Jeremy said, it should be fixed as soon as the updates are finished
being pushed/synched. 

Also I'm pretty sure that pup in rawhide/F8 will give you a more helpful
message, so if it happens again in the future things should be a little
less confusing.
