MediaWiki 1.39.1 PHP 7.4.3-4ubuntu2.19 (apache2handler) MySQL 8.0.34-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 ICU 66.1

HitCounters-REL1_39-e759c39.tar.gz

did the composer install and ran the update script. I get

[35f31966c348bbdee9c42ea7] /Special:PopularPages Error: Class 'MWNamespace' not found

Backtrace:

I see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MWNamespace.php/en says

This feature was removed from MediaWiki core in version 1.39 (phab:rMWea1c106ea9a3) (after being deprecated in 1.34). Please see NamespaceInfo.php for an alternative way to use this feature.

[Bug: T291389] should be fixed since Oct 10, 2021. See: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-HitCounters/commit/d0f37b82b53368fc2bb50c2ff3ce29ba0b3b4cbc

I got help at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T347678, and while I got the counters working the use of composer triggered dependency problems elsewhere in my test wiki
