    If your server, for some reason(s), does not like auto updating, then consider MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Please read the Manual Update directions first.

    Did you ever get a fix for this aside from a manual update? One of my clients has reported the same problem.

    I met same error for wp update and plugin update. There was a “problem” with disk space. Through time, disk was completely full of backups, and wp couldn’t update its core or plugins (no free space to download updates from servers…)
    Deleted old backups, and updated everything without problem…
