Me too.

The solution offered here worked in my case: Error while update ResponseError: WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value - #5 by netmanthan

Resolved after a computer restart, and bench update.
I think the problem showed up because I haven’t restarted computer after Ubuntu 16.04 updated.

Resolved after server reboot also. I’m using Debian 9.

Problem resolved by following command

redis-cli -p 13000 FLUSHALL

bench update

Had the same issue on Debian 9 when running

$ bench update
(...)
WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value

The issue seems to originate from a problem with Redis cache. Maybe a restart of only Redis would be sufficient. In any case, a full server reboot made the problem go away. Thanks!
