 * I normally use Fantastico Deluxe to update wordpress as I am not a techie, however
   as I noticed my version of wordpress was getting rather out of date I decided
   to try WordPress’ own automatic update facility.
 * Unfortunately I got this error message:
    Could not copy file.: /public_html/blog/
   wp-admin/css/theme-editor.dev.css
 * I am not sure what to do next. Do I just wait for Fantastico to catch up or try
   the automatic update again?

 * Wait for Fantastico to catch up or try upgrading manually.

 * Ta for your replies 🙂
 * I though the codex does give good advice for a manual update I am just not techie-
   confident enough to give it a go.
 * I suppose I shall have to wait for Fantastico to catch up
