Without reading that reply we cannot know the context.


It may be related to having disabled Apple security updates:


  • To have your Mac install system files and Rapid Security Responses automatically, turn on "Install Security Responses and system files."


It's a good idea to keep that one on, even if you prefer to install macOS updates on your own schedule.
