A little more information: the problem only seems to exist on Ubuntu. I have a production server running Oracle Linux 7.9 with PHP 7.4.33, and "Check For Updates" works fine on that server. Check For Updates does not work on my production server running Ubuntu 22.04.4 with PHP 8.1.2. I am testing it now on a test server running Ubuntu 24.04.1 with PHP 8.3.6, and Check For Updates does not work. Same behavior: a five minute delay followed by the message about being unable to parse list.xml, although I am able to retrieve list.xml with curl.
I have been testing applying the updates by downloading the individual patch files and using "Upload and Update", and that works, although when I went directly from 4.3.2 to 4.4.8 it broke the formatting of the administrator console and my site. I restored the site back to 4.3.2 and have been applying the patches one at a time, which has worked to bring the site up to 4.4.8. I will follow the same process - carefully - with my main production site.
I'm surprised that I seem to be the only one reporting this issue. Is it because very few people run Joomla on Ubuntu?
