Issue

Joomla 4 Extensions Updater shows the following warning at the top of the page:

Update: Could not open update site #59

Update: Could not open update site #59 "Lab5 - Update Server (lab5_captcha)", URL: https://downloadserver.lab5.ch/updates.joomla.xml?extension=plg_lab5_captcha/extension.xml

 This doesn't affect functionality, other extensions are updated with no issues. The update site in question is not showing in System > Update Sites.

 

 

Resolution

The update site URL was a leftover from an old broken extension (Lab5 CAPTCHA) which had been removed manually. A quick search in Joomla's database revealed that it was coming from the _update_sites table. I was going to remove the offending entry from the database manually, but before doing that I tried clicking "Rebuild" button in System > Update Sites.

System > Update Sites > Rebuild

This fixed the issue without having to manually mess with the database (the entry was removed _update_sites table by the "Rebuild" process).
