 * Can someone _please_ update the code in capabilities.php from this
 * >  if ( empty($this->roles[$role]) || (count($this->roles) <= 1) )
 * to this:
 * > if ( empty($this->caps[$role]) || (count($this->caps) <= 1) )
 * It’s on line 202 of version 2.6.2 capabilities.php. This issue has been around
   for a very long time and it’s stopping me from removing a role from a user.
 * Can someone take a few moments and update this one line of code?

 * If this is a bug, you should post it on [the bug tracker](http://trac.wordpress.org).
 * All code changes go through there.

 * It’s now on line 568 of capabilities.php in version 2.7.
 * I tried adding a bug to the tracker but it didn’t let me.
