What does this mean?

Your issue is a duplicate of issue #8676. and discussion on how to fix it is going on there, so we've closed this issue so as not to split the discussion over 2 locations. Sorry for the terse response - we get a lot of these reports, so it's easy to get into a routine of linking them to the base issue without much explanation.
