Try changing to the default WordPress theme, updating and then switching back. Does that resolve your issue?
I have the same problem…
Can’t change theme or anything, I Can’t log in to admin or view the site.
Any suggestions??
I hope you have a backup of your site.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/mizbern/public_html/wp-includes/l10n.php on line 885
The key word is wp-includes: that’s the folder that has been affected. Use FTP to get on your site server, navigate to public html, and replace the include folder with your backup. If your message points to a different folder, replace that one.
It’s not worth monkeying with the file at the end of the list. Fix that, and another one magically breaks. I assume this is a WordPress bug, because it keeps happening to me.
Good luck,

@clueless_user, may I ask what was on the line with the error? If you’re certain those files were never changed then it could potentially be a hack.
Andrew, not being an HTML person, I wouldn’t know what the error was. It may well be a hack: this is the second time it has happened in three months. Always something with the includes folder. Seems I should check the site every day. If I find this kind of error again, maybe I should send you the line in question.
Thanks for the suggestion.
