@techfry Could you provide the system information, like e.g. which Joomla version you've used?

@techfry Which language packs and 3rd party extensions do you have installed, if any? I've noticed that error before with the Danish language pack, which clearly has a broken manifest, and so rebuilding the update site URL was broken.

Language file is default - English (United Kingdom) (eb-GB)

I installed many extensions for checking, then uninstalled all these 3rd party extensions. May be this is causing? Should I re-install Joomla and check again fresh installation?

@techfry Well, that could help to find out if some of these extensions has not been removed properly when uninstalling and if that has caused the problem.

@richard67 @techfry I can re-procedure the issue by enable Debug System in Global configuration, so you do not need to re-install Joomla. We will try to figure out why the issue happens and get it sorted

@joomdonation Ouch .. I remember now I had observed that, too, and had forgotten about it.
