Home Assistant core Fails to start

I am running Home assistant core in docker on unraid using linuxserver.io packages. I was recently away for a week and when I returned, Home Assistant was no longer functioning. This is what I see in the logs:

TypeError: slugify() got an unexpected keyword argument 'separator'

The only thing that I have tried so far was to go back to an earlier version of the docker linuxserver.io as it had been updated while I was away and it made no difference.

I do not know what to do to troubleshoot this issue and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
