 * I get the following when trying to perform an automatic upgrade:
 * > Downloading update from [http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.2.zip](http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.2.zip)
   > Unpacking the core update
   > Fatal error: Call to undefined function update_core() in /home/adam/web/public/
   > blog/wp-admin/includes/update.php on line 475
 * I can’t find any mention of anyone else having this problem; could it be something
   specific to OpenSolaris?
