I got this error after updating your latest version of Akeeba for joomla 3

 

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ') GROUP BY c2.`id`) AS c2 ON c2.newId = c.`id` SET `published` = c2.newPublis...' at line 6
Package Update: There was an error installing an extension: com_akeeba-core.zip
Before updating ensure that the update is compatible with your Joomla! installation.
You are strongly advised to make a backup of your site's files and database before you start updating.

Please keep in mind that it is Joomla itself installing extensions (both for the first time and when upgrading). Our code does not run at this point.

The SQL query referenced in the error message does not come from our software. It actually comes from Joomla itself. Namely, lines 1551 to 1567 of the file libraries/src/Table/Nested.php which contains the \Joomla\CMS\Table\Nested class which is extended by \Joomla\CMS\Table\Menu. During the installation or update of a component Joomla uses the aforementioned Menu class to manage the items published in the the Components administrator menu.

Therefore it looks like there is a problem with Joomla running on your version of MariaDB (the database server your host uses instead of MySQL).
