This pull request (PR) improves the error messages from the check for the uploaded package file which was added with PR #41757 to the Joomla Update component.
The link to the official Joomla download page points to https://downloads.joomla.org/latest , which might not be suitable for every use case, e.g. nightly builds or development versions.
But we use this link already elswhere for the same purpose, providing an entry point where people can start to look for the right package and which is suitable in most cases.
As we currently do not build the small patch packages, there are only the "Upgrade" packages available.
Later when we can build the smaller patch packages again and they will be available at the downloads pages, we might have to change the "Upgrade Package" to "Upgrade or Update Package" in the language strings touched by this PR.
In the Joomla Update Component, go to "Upload & Update" and then use the button to chose a file.
In the file selection dialogue, change the file type filter from ".zip" to "All files (.*)".
Select any file which is not a ZIP file, e.g. an image, a CSS file, whatever comes into your mind, and use the "Open" button to upload the file.
