Updated three Joomla websites (so far) from J! 3.9.6 to J! 3.9.8 without any problems. Front- and back-end access all seem to work OK. Thanks, everyone.
UPDATE: Updated another half-dozen websites from J! 3.9.6 to J! 3.9.8 without any problems.
Tip: Make sure that you "check for updates" in case the
Joomla! Update component shows the latest update is J! 3.9.7.

Did you click the Check for Updates button?
And I'd clear Joomla cache too.

That's a weid problem. It guess that it's some local server issue.
Your Joomla site has a file called administrator/manifests/files/joomla.xml
that defines Joomla's update servers:
Code: Select all
<updateservers>
<server name="Joomla! Core" type="collection">https://update.joomla.org/core/list.xml</server>
</updateservers>
The URL
https://update.joomla.org/core/list.xml tells your Joomla site where to look if there are any updates:
Code: Select all
<extension name="Joomla" element="joomla" type="file" version="3.9.8" targetplatformversion="3.9" detailsurl="https://update.joomla.org/core/sts/extension_sts.xml"/>
And in
https://update.joomla.org/core/sts/extension_sts.xml it speficies the new versions + downloads
Code: Select all
<update>
<name>Joomla! 3.9</name>
<description>Joomla! 3.9 CMS</description>
<element>joomla</element>
<type>file</type>
<version>3.9.8</version>

Does your site uses any server cache or proxy?
So that Joomla keeps seeing / using to the old Joomla version information that was on
https://update.joomla.org/core/sts/extension_sts.xml before the J3.9.8 update?
I would test that by using ssh to log in into that server, and investigate the output of
Code: Select all
curl https://update.joomla.org/core/sts/extension_sts.xml
Of course you could also ask your hosting company.

Just in case anyone else has my problem. I logged into Adminsitrator and then manually forced Joomla Updates to check for newer version of software. It initially report
Installed version: 3.9.8
Update version: 3.9.6
but after force refresh to check for new updates...finally reporting latest version installed and now running 3.9.11.
