[wp-testers] How long does the Auto Update take?

[Jason Gottschalk]

Hello Kirk,

"Depending on how many..." I thought this might be it since I had not had a successful update in weeks.

I tried an update this morning, after a successful run last night on the third try, but it too failed on the "cannot copy wp-trackback.php" error.

I have not been dectivating any plugins (I have one)
PHP version is: 5.2.4


GET THIS...... :)

I have determined that I get this error *every other time* I run the update:
(and it doesn't seem to matter if I deactivate the plug-ins.)


Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/nightly-builds/wordpress-latest.zip
Unpacking the core update
Could not copy file: /public_html/wp-content/upgrade/core/wordpress/wp-trackback.php
Installation Failed
