Something is inconsistent here. It's missing on a live site. I have it on my local git clone.

Fixed with direct commit of 8383f60
There used to be a differently purposed JFormFieldType in com_installer that was removed between 2.5 and 3.0. The file ended up back in the deleted files list after rebuilding it. So the file is being deleted from sites during the post-update processing.
how to fix this issue???
Base on the commit, you can get this file https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/administrator/components/com_installer/models/fields/type.php , and upload it to administrator/components/com_installer/models/fields folder to get the issue sorted
As temporary workaround, note that typing directly what you search for (Language, Component, ...) does work :
confirmed issue
Thank you @brianteeman for your oh so nice and kind reaction... Your precious commenting is duly noted! Keep on the good interaction..Great!
Tested by re-creating the deleted file /administrator/components/com_installer/models/fields/type.php as suggested by @joomdonation. Tested OK.
Fix works! thanks a lot to you guys :-)
