I am trying to update Akeeba Pro to version 9.9.4 on Joomla 4.4.4. When I run the installer I get the following error (both using the automatic joomla extension update and uploading the downloaded file):   JInstaller: :Install: Error SQL Duplicate column name 'access' Extension installation stopped. Package Update: There was an error installing an extension: com_akeebabackup-pro.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. danger Error updating package.   When I go to the Akeeba Control panel Status Summary it shows: Akeeba Backup Professional for Joomla!™ 9.9.4 (2024-06-10)   However, the Joomla Extensions: Update page is still showing Akeeba as version 9.9.3 needing update to 9.9.4

I figured out the error. I reinstalled 9.9.3, then Under System > Maintenance > Database   I selected Akeeba Backup and then Update Structure. After that, I was able to install version 9.9.4 without error messages.
