Summary of Changes

In the latest Joomla releases 5.4.7 and 6.1.2, a regression was introduced, which will be fixed with the next 5.4.8 and 6.1.3 releases. A hotfix has been provided as an interim measure as a files extension, see the yellow box "Known issue with 5.4.7 and 6.1.2" at the top of the release announcement.

When you install that hotfix, it will apply a patch to revert the regression and then uninstall itself.

But that uninstallation is incomplete.

The files extension of that hotfix is properly removed from the extensions table in database.

But the files are not removed. Following files are remaining:

• <JOOMLA ROOT>/administrator/manifests/files/filepatcher.xml
• <JOOMLA ROOT>/filepatcher.php
• <JOOMLA ROOT>/filepatcher.xml
• <JOOMLA ROOT>/LICENSE
• <JOOMLA ROOT>/README.md

This pull request (PR) adds these files to the list of files to be deleted on update in the administrator/components/com_admin/script.php file so they will be removed when updating the core to a version which includes this PR (hopefully 5.4.8).

The equivalent PR for 6.1 is PR #48117 .
