 * Hello,
    I’ve experiencing a myriad of weird stuff on my sites since they were
   automatically upgraded to 4.1.1 yesterday.
 * In working with someone on a specific issue it looked like re-installing 4.1.1
   might have an impact…but, when I try, I get this error:
    ———————————– Update 
   WordPress Downloading update from [https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-4.1.1-no-content.zip…](https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-4.1.1-no-content.zip…)
   Unpacking the update… Could not copy file.: wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-
   wp-links-list-table.php Installation Failed ————————————
 * I ftp’d in and looked at that path and there is no file by that name – and I 
   have no idea
    what it is.
 * Any suggestions???
 * Thanks!
    Rob

 * This could have to do with the permissions of your update folder as described
