Ionic-cli: 'ionic lib update' cannot update, gives error 'Invalid version: undefined'

'ionic lib update' should update the local library to the latest version but instead it gives this error: 'Invalid version: undefined'

The entire history looks like this:

Thanks for the issue! This issue appears to be associated with an old version of the Ionic CLI. Please update to the latest CLI version, which supports all versions of the Ionic Framework. If the issue is relevant and if it persists after updating to the latest CLI version, please create a new issue.

Thank you for using Ionic!
