Is this related to the problem the security check page showing a blank page ?
Probably not. As that error is about the dashboard module, which shows on the index page, not the security checks page. It would cause the index page to show incorrectly, possibly with some modules and the footer not appearing. Unless you renamed the index.php file to security_checks.php, I don't see how they would be related.

I updated my installation from 1.0.8.9. manually. Did I make a mistake somewhere ?
Quite possibly. Unfortunately, it's hard to say what mistake from the information given. I don't have better general advice than to roll back and apply the updates again. It's possible that one of the certified developers could, by inspecting the files of your site, come up with a more targeted solution.
Thanks. As only the security check page is failing and I modified quite a few pages, I will continu tracing the errors.

I traced the errors and found the following:
- my blank page Security Checks is related to line 103 in ../Admin/includes/classes/security_checks.php: if I skip that line (I just put "//" in front of it), my page shows correctly except for 2 error HTTP messages just below the heading title of the page ("Authorization required...").
- The errors are related to the protected access to the ../Admin/backups directory: if I rename the .htacces file I get again two HTTP error but different ones ("Forbidden...")
- my blank page Server Info is related to ../Admin/includes/classes/system_info.php line 35 and 36: @exec() seems to be blocked by the security setting of my hosting provider. If I replace the values with fixed values ("xxx" and 999), my pages shows those values at the Servoer OS: "Linux xxx" and server uptime 999.
It seems this is not related to my modifications nor to any incorrectly executed updates, but to server security. Is my assumption correct?
