# Activate/Deactivate Plugin Fails

 * I run the svn of WordPress and recently went from 2.4-bleeding to 2.5-beta1. 
   I forgot to disable all of my plugins (such a huge hassle), and after I did the
   upgrade, I lost the ability to activate/deactivate plugins. This is the only 
   thing I see:
 * > Your attempt to deactivate this plugin: “ajaxd-wordpress/aWP.php” has failed.
   > Please try again.
 * It doesn’t matter what the plugin is, they ALL experience this during activate
   and deactivate. I did notice something curious though. I moved one of the plugin
   directories to a different name and then the plugin was listed as deactivated
   then. When I moved the plugin back, nothing changed.
 * I have no idea what’s causing this. There are no svn conflicts and everything
   else seems to work. Other plugins seem to work as they should.
 * Any ideas?
