What happened?

When automatic updates is enabled in Joomla, the Action Logs record the Joomla core update twice after the update process completes.

Joomla Version Before Update: 6.1.0
Joomla Version After Update: 6.1.1
Update Method: Automatic Update enabled
User: admin

After Joomla automatically updated from 6.1.0 to 6.1.1, the Action Logs displayed the following entry twice:

User admin updated Joomla from Unknown to 6.1.1
User admin updated Joomla from Unknown to 6.1.1

Both entries were logged at the same time.

Version

6.1

Expected result

Only one update log entry should be created for a single Joomla update process.

Additionally, the previous version should correctly display as:

from 6.1.0 to 6.1.1
instead of:
from Unknown to 6.1.1

Actual result

Duplicate log entries are created.
Previous Joomla version is displayed as "Unknown".
