updating problem

For both 5.7.9.5 and 5.7.9.6, updating from the dashboard of WP after seeing the availability of the update, I got prompted for my FTP information. Odd, I thought, but I slugged it in there and it failed. For both updates, I was able to download and FTP the update successfully, which at least reassured me that I hadn’t forgotten my venerable FTP info.

Thoughts on what would cause such a thing?
