Same here, installed via npm on a Windows machine 👍

I had the same error with v0.15.1, and could just now (a minute ago) perform brew update; brew upgrade to install yarn 0.16.0, and now it seems to work:

$ yarn self-update
yarn self-update v0.16.0
success Yarn is already using the latest version.
✨  Done in 0.61s.

after brew update, brew upgrade:

MacBook ~> yarn self-update
yarn self-update v0.16.0
success Yarn is already using the latest version.
✨  Done in 0.92s.

if it is installed with a brew, you will not be able to self-update?

I can't do that on Windows. Any leads ? Should I install yarn all over again to update ? 😕

The identical bug was already filed #612 and already fixed #676
npm install -g yarn --update updated yarn for me to v0.16.1 and it seems to be fixed. Mine was installed using npm :)
