Error "The URL alias entity type needs to be installed." D8.8 PathAuto 1.6 upgrade

I was redirected from Pathauto to Core for this issue
( https://www.drupal.org/project/pathauto/issues/3100678 )

Since I updated to Drupal 8.8, and pathauto 1.6
I get the following error :

Entity/field definitions
Mismatched entity and/or field definitions
The following changes were detected in the entity type and field definitions.
URL alias

    The URL alias entity type needs to be installed.

I tried installing entity-update and running drush entup, the error persists;
Also tried running updates, cron and clearing all caches.

#drush entup

The error persisted so I run it again in verbose mode :

\Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityDefinitionUpdateManagerInterface::getChangeList() and execute each entity type and field storage update manually instead. See

I'm told drush entup is now useless, so how am I supposed to fix this error ?
Thanks in advance :-)
