    WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. .. This typically means WordPress trying to connect to the update server in the background, but couldn’t. This could be due to a simple internet connection issue, or may be the server is temporarily offline, etc.

    From your terminal, type

    nslookup api.wordpress.org

    What do you get back?
