 * When I attempt to update to 3.6.1, I receive a warning while unpacking the update:
 * ‘Warning: copy(/homepages/31/d388215895/htdocs/app388215907/wp-admin/includes/
   update-core.php) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in/
   homepages/31/d388215895/htdocs/app388215907/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-
   direct.php on line 200’

 * Looks like a server permissions issue. You may have to upgrade WordPress manually.

 * See [Upgrading_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress). Or
   you can send a copy of the error message to your hosts and see if they can help.
