5.8 Beta not installing

Here’s my Beta Tester page:

After saving, this is what I see in Dashboard > Updates (I’m currently at WP 5.7.2):

After clicking “Update now”, it says I’m in version 5.7.2 still. And if I head back to Dashboard > Updates, I see:

Clicking “check again” doesn’t do anything.

Clicking on the button that’s labelled “Re-install version –en_US” just shows a blank gray admin screen

Here you go, this is after I’ve gone through and clicked the “Update now” button:

array(
	'timeout'      => 3,
	'user-agent'   => 'WordPress/5.7.1; http://wpbeta.local/',
	'headers'      => array(
		'wp_install' => 'http://wpbeta.local/',
		'wp_blog'    => 'http://wpbeta.local/',
	),
	'body'         => array(
		'translations' => array(),
	),
	'query_string' => array(
		'version'            => '5.8-alpha',
		'php'                => '5.6.39',
		'locale'             => 'en_US',
		'mysql'              => '8.0.16',
		'local_package'      => '',
		'blogs'              => '1',
		'users'              => '1',
		'multisite_enabled'  => '0',
		'initial_db_version' => '47018',
		'channel'            => 'beta',
	),
)

Sorry, wasn’t able to get back to this. I’m not certain now whether it was the RC release or what, but it now works, was able to update to 5.8-RC2 using the same steps.

Marking this as resolved for now until someone else encounters this for the next update.
