This message indicates that there's a problem with the repository startup. There can be numerous reasons for it, the most prominent in my personal experience:

* the repository was not shut down properly

* incorrect repoinit statements prevent the repo from coming up.

If this is a local environment, I suggest to start over from scratch.

In my experience there could be two issue of it:

1. Some bundle which, runs on startup, is missing some dependency. if you are facing this issue after deployment of a bundle. in this case you can still access you system/console.

2. or there might have some issue with your index like corruption an all. so stop your instance and delete the entire index folder under your crx-quickstart/repository and then try to restart.

Hope this will help.
