Salt-master and 2 minions.

Steps to Reproduce Issue

Not quite sure. I think one of the minions was in the middle of being updated when salt-run manage.versions was ran.

I experienced the same error on the Salt master version 2019.2.1

Similar issue here. Difference is Error seems related to minion in blackout mode:

salt-run manage.versions
Exception occurred in runner manage.versions: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/salt/client/mixins.py", line 382, in _low
    data['return'] = self.functions[fun](*args, **kwargs)

    minion_version = salt.version.SaltStackVersion.parse(minions[minion])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/salt/version.py", line 267, in parse
    'Unable to parse version string: \'{0}\''.format(version_string)
ValueError: Unable to parse version string: 'ERROR executing 'test.version': Minion in blackout mode. Set 'minion_blackout' to False in pillar to resume operations. Only saltutil.refresh_pillar allowed in blackout mode.'

Salt 2017.7.7
I would expect there to be no error, or at least only error out for the minions in blackout. Other minions should still return their version.

running into this too. I found this issue though when I had a minion return this error:

b-gp2-dvrmq-1.imovetv.com:
    ERROR executing 'grains.item': Executor 'direct_call.get' is not available

I was running a grains.item osfinger saltversion targeting this minion among 80 others or so. I had 2 boxes return this. The OP's error mentions this direct_call.get when trying to run the manage.versions so I don't know if this is related.
