Do NOT update or uninstall two or more extensions of different types (e.g. one Package, one Library) at the same time. There's a long standing bug in Joomla which will make one of these extensions break if it's using an installation script.

Please note that there are at least another two issues in Joomla which have the exact same root cause, both of which I have reported myself, and one of which you have participated in yourself – you left a comment, back in 2022, it was the issue about files not being copied on update. I have been telling them since 2014. The same problem still happens, eleven years later, even though I told them how to fix it almost 3 years ago. I give up.
