Why does calling “get-help entityframework” in the Package Manager Console cause this error?

Have you recently upgraded any related components? I ask because another user saw similar behaviour with NuGet after an MVC upgrade: https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/2192
Check that your NuGet and Entity Framework packages are up-to-date.
Are there any other strings for which get-help returns a similar error? If not, perhaps go so far as to uninstall and reinstall Entity Framework?
