Hi,

This is a known issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-205262

To solve, please delete your current installation, and do a clean reinstall. You can download 2019.2 EAP version from here: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/nextversion/

The issue is updating while running Intellij via a symlink. For me it worked to start intellij directly (no symlink) and run update.
