 * I get a fatal error message when I try to automatically upgrade from 2.7 to 2.7.1.
   Is anybody else having this problem? The message I get is: Fatal error: Cannot
   redeclare class pclzip in /home/content/D/e/b/DebbiSmith/html/comeonsense/wp-
   admin/includes/class-pclzip.php on line 171. I run five sites and have the same
   problem with upgrades on each. I also have seen the same problem with the latest
   version of the DashBar plugin.

 * Most people see this error when they have an older automatic upgrade plugin still
   installed. Deactivate and remove any old upgrade plugins.

 * Otto, Thanks for the suggestion but it did not work. I have version 1.2.2 installed.
   I deactivated it, then removed it and re-installed using the automated process.
   It worked for the plugin but I got the same error message when I tried to upgrade
   to 2.7.1 I get the same error message on all five of the sites I am managing.

 * No you need to totally remove the auto upgrade plugin, and not put it back wordpress
   has that functionality bultin now, no need for the plugin.

 * Wait, re-installed? What? No, you don’t *need* any plugin for upgrading. WordPress
   2.7 has upgrading built into it. Those plugins are obsolete.
 * Deactivate and remove any automatic upgrade plugins. Don’t reinstall them.
