Thanks for your response. Sorry, I didn't understand what I needed to do.
I have another website in a different language, identical in structure to the first one. I tested installing Kunena 6.4.9 on its copy in WAMP. I got exactly the same result.

Here's a report for the first site on the WORKING server before installing Kunena 6.4.9. Does it also contain the error you noticed? If it doesn't appear on the server, does it occur during the installation of Kunena 6.4.9 or when backing up via Akeeba Backup?

I installed Kunena 7.0.1 over Kunena 6.4.9 for an experiment.
The errors in the admin panel disappeared.

However, they are still present in the Kunena settings under the "Forum View" tab:

Something is wrong with your ‘Kunena detailed configuration:’ , the entries are duplicated.In the Kunena menu details, I am missing the entry mainmenu under menutype.

 
Thanks again for your comment. I couldn't figure it out until I found a link to troubleshooting recommendations for the Kunena menu in another thread: www.kunena.org/docs/en/troubleshooting/menu-issues .

I followed those recommendations, but unfortunately, I still can't upgrade from Kunena 6.3.10 to 6.4.9.

When installing 6.4.9 over 6.3.10, I get the message:
Kunena 6.4 has not been installed, aborting!
Extension: Update: Error in custom installation script.
Package installation error.

A two-step installation of 6.4.9—first installing 6.4.5 over 6.3.10, and then installing 6.4.9 on top of that—results in the following messages (both times): "Package installation completed successfully." , but it throws a bunch of errors:
( ! ) Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property Kunena\Forum\Libraries\Config\KunenaConfig::$_errors is deprecated in W:\wamp64\www\locru\libraries\src\Cache\Controller\OutputController.php on line 71. The dashboard shows version 6.4.5, and the forum doesn't work properly.

I kindly ask you to check the current state of Kunena. Have I fixed the error you mentioned: "I am missing the mainmenu entry under menutype."?

If not, what should I do?

Thanks in advance.

The Kunena menu is fine, only the menu item in the main menu (itemid 3022) that links to the forum is in the trash; it can be republished. 
I tried to reproduce the error using an old backup file (with CB, Kunena Discuss, and Kunena Latest), but I couldn't.

Try the following:
1. If you are using a cache, clear it and disable it.
2. Disable Kunena Discuss.
3. Disable Community Builder.
4. Select the Joomla default template Aurelia.
5. Uninstall Kunena via the Joomla installer!
5. Try to install Kunena 6.4.9 again.
If you get deprecated messages, scroll down and go to the Kunena dashboard and wait until the page has finished loading.
Then refresh the page again.

If does not help and you have Kunena database tables of Kunena 6.3.10, try these steps:
1. If you are using a cache, clear it and disable it.
2. Export the folder media/kunena as backup
3. Disable Kunena Discuss.
4. Disable Community Builder.
5. Select the Joomla default template Aurelia.
6. Go to Kunena -> Tools and remove Kunena complete
7. Import the Kunena 6.3.10 Database tables
8. Import the folder media/kunena
9. Install Kunena 6.4.9
You will see lots of deprecated messages.
Wait until the page has finished loading, then scroll all the way down. If you are not in the Kunena Dashboard, go there and wait again until the page has loaded. Then refresh the page again.
The disadvantage of this method is that you will then have to recreate the Kunena menus.
Important! Always create a backup before you make any changes to your website!

In the configuration report, the entries under Kunena detailed configuration: are rather chaotic and are mostly duplicated and written in different ways.
Up to about line 209, the entries without an underscore are in capital letters, e.g. boardOffline.
From line 227 onwards, the duplicate entries begin with board_offline.
