Steps to reproduce the issue

I use Watchful.net to monitor my Joomla websites.
On my latest scan it's telling me that it is missing a core file:
/administrator/manifests/packages/pkg_weblinks.xml

Expected result

Not sure. Is it supposed to be there?

Actual result

No sign of the file in that location

System information (as much as possible)

J3.9.25, Linux Litespeed web server, PHP 7.3.27,

But also the same on a Joomla installation on a Linux Apache webserver

Additional comments

I've seen this topic mentioned before, but it's all quite old.

Isn't weblinks an decoupled extension?

I've no idea what 'weblinks' is. The file in question can be found in the Core files here, though.

Sorry, I don't know what a 'refuse' means in this context.

weblinks should be decoupled from core iirc...

Weblinks file is present in update packages as we didn't install it on old sites. But it should be available to update to a j4 compatible version

@wilsonge does your answer mean that the missing core file mentioned by @Scrabble96 is expected? Sorry, i don't understand the meaning.

Yes, the missing file is okay. Depending on the age of the site and if you kept or uninstalled the weblinks extension, that file can be present or not. This issue can be closed.
