 * Does that file exist on the system? It sounds like you performed an incomplete
   update, so some of the files are still missing from the server.
 * Try downloading a fresh copy of the WordPress ZIP file from here, and then do
   the update manually, so that you know all the files are present.

 * Dont forget to back up before proceeding
