Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Update a Joomla site to v4.4.0
  2. check the Joomla Update

Expected result

I expected it to show me in detail which requirements were not met to update to v5.0.0. For example, if the PHP version is the issue, it displays the PHP version available on the server and the recommended version.

A generic message is not useful at all. We should not expect a Joomla user will know the database server name or version. Unless we show them the actual issue s/he might not be able to fix that and continue the update.

Actual result

When I tried to update, it shows me a generic messages.
