Answer 2

This problem arises because of missing function call in function discover_install() in libraries\joomla\installer\adapters\template.php: $lang = JFactory::getLanguage();

Add this line to this file and stuff will be working ;)

Answer 3

Dzenan's solution worked for me. I added...

$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();

...to line 480 in libraries\joomla\installer\adapters\template.php and the template installed during the discover/install process.

Answer 4

I'm using Joomla 2.5.4 and as per the bug tracker mentioned by Stu I added.

$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();

But I added it to the function starting on line 503 of the file

libraries\joomla\installer\adapters\template.php

public function discover_install()
    {
        // Templates are one of the easiest
        // If its not in the extensions table we just add it
        $lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
        $client = JApplicationHelper::getClientInfo($this->parent->extension->client_id);

This worked like a charm. Thanks Stu & Dzenan
