The problem most likely is that your own branch was not completely up to date
I have some difficulties accepting to rename the cpanel component as Home Dashboard component...
Changing the Control Panel title page to Home dashboard may be fine, but the component IS cpanel.

I thought about that and don't disagree. However, I think the only place the component is referred to by name is in the Extensions: Manage page. If you select by Status=Protected and Type=Component you will see Articles in the list. But there is no Articles component. And there are several more names that do not correspond to components.

So what. The component is com_content but we call it articles
Just another spurious reason to block any change when it might create some work for a translator

This seems much more logical to me to make our naming consistent across the backend
Thanks guys. I will try to get it right first time in future.
@wilsonge System tests in the 4.0-dev branch are consistently failing now, and I think it could be related to this PR. After the installation, the test browser simulation seems not to find the statistics alert to close it, This could be due to changed page title. See screenshot of the test: https://ci.joomla.org/artifacts/joomla/joomla-cms/4.0-dev/30680/system-tests/35473/InstallCest.configureJoomla.mysql.fail.png
@ceford For you as explanation: The "joomla-browser" is a tool which we use for running system tests. It still assumes that the page title of the Home Dasboard is "Control Panel", and so the system test can't find the statistics alert to be closed after installation. So the system test fails at this point.
Thanks for flagging @richard67 . Hopefully c41e9bf should be the fix. Just watching the tests run through now
I do not understand why there are conflicts. The two files concerned just have Home Dashboard in place of Control Panel in translation strings. Could someone explain?
