    you have missed symlink from tarball
    you need to extract files from tarball on linux instead of linux:

    tar -zxvf ./tarball_name

    my question is what may have put the program on days when it is not yet ready for updates and if so how to fix my problem.

    where can I find the file "theme.xml" to be renamed?
    and rename it to what


    thank you

    Reply to @kweb:in your Newscoop 4.0 instance, go to Configure/Themes, and then in theme management go to the tab with your publication's name; then in 'actions' dropdown menu next to the theme which is used by your publication choose 'edit'. You will see two tabs, one with Theme settings and second with theme templates. On theme settings tab, check if correct templates are selected for opening front, section and article page.
    also go into templates and check how they are upgraded; for example, every call to static file in 4.0 should look like

    {{ url static_file="_css/main.css" }}

    so in template, instead of

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="templates/_css/style.css">

    you need to have

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url static_file='_css/style.css' }}">

    This url_static creates the correct path to file, which now depends on publication and theme assigned to it.
