One thing I noticed is, we did not have problems with Skins but you
did. (We had problems with Extensions).
Our LocalSettings.php has this, which may explain why we had no
problems with Skins:
$wgStylePath = "$wgScriptPath/skins";
$wgStyleDirectory = "$IP/skins";
According to the manual at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgStyleDirectory,
wgStyleDirectory is set to null in 1.38. This is new behavior for
1.38.
Maybe you need to set $wgStyleDirectory and that will fix the problems
with your skins.
(I still can't explain our problem with Extensions. Maybe I need to
set $wgExtensionDirectory. The manual says it is null in
1.38.Previously it was set to "$IP/extensions").
