Your symlink isn't set correct.

you wrote:
ln -s typo3 typo3_src

what links in the false direction.

The correct symlinks for TYPO3 (9.5.8) are:

ln -s typo3_src-9.5.8/ typo3_src
ln -s typo3_src/typo3 typo3
ln -s typo3_src/index.php

The ln -s commands syntax is: ln -s <source> <targetname>

I think your folder structure is incorrect. The correct structure would be:

typo3_src -> /path/to/typo3_src-9.5.x

typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3

index.php -> typo3_src/index.php.

Your command would yield typo3_src -> typo3

First, try ln -s typo3_src-9.5.8 typo3_src and see if that fixes the problem. If it does not, additionally try ln -s typo3_src/typo3 typo3, and then ln -s typo3_src/index.php index.php. It might be, that you have to rename the existing directories/files before this actually works.

Assuming you want to update Typo3 from v9.5.10 to v9.5.25

1 -With the current version (v9.5.10)

cd  /var/www/typo3
mv  typo3_src  typo3_src_9.5.10
ln  -s  typo3_src-9.5.10  typo3_src
mv  typo3  typo3.save
ln  -s  typo3_src/typo3  .
mv  index.php  index.php.save
ln  -s  typo3_src/index.php  .

2 - Download the new version (v9.5.25)

wget --content-disposition get.typo3.org/9.5.25

3 - unzip the new version in the /var/www/typo3/ directory

tar  xvfp  typo3_src-9.5.25.tar.gz

4 - Move the new version of the “core” to its destination directory

cd /var/www/typo3
chown  -R  apache:apache  typo3_src-9.5.25
chmod  -R  g=u,o=u-w  typo3_src-9.5.25
rm  typo3_src
ln  -s  typo3_src-9.5.25  typo3_src

5 - Now the core of your typo3 is version 9.5.25
