 * I have some WordPress sites on a VPS that I have updated from 3.8 to the lastest
   3.8.1 release. Yet the Dashboard still shows a message that I need to update 
   to 3.8.1. The update appeared to be successful on all three WordPress sites yet
   they all say that I still need to update.
 * I’m very confused so if anyone has any insight into what’s going on I would be
   most grateful.

 * It might be a bug.If you have successfully updated the version then please continue
   with your work.Wait some time and see whether wordpress will correct it or not.
   Is it affecting the functionality of the website?

 * If you use WP Object Cache, clear it. This can be done, depending on what backend
   you use for WP Object Cache. Renaming object-cache.php to another name, would
   clear it as well.
 * If that doesn’t work, try restarting your PHP process.
 * In either case, the message would go away, after the cache expires, as per the
   TTL defined. Of course, it wouldn’t go away, if no expiration is defined.

 * Thanks for your input Pothi. I was finally able to clear the message by restarting
   apache.
