 * Try [downloading WordPress](https://wordpress.org/download/) again and delete
   then replace your copies of everything **except** the `wp-config.php` file and
   the `/wp-content/` directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively
   replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Some
   uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete
   the original files before replacing them.

 * I had the same issue earlier. And this was **due to the disk quota**. Although,
   I had to just upload the zip of wp-includes from the latest release and that 
   did the job. You should probably try to find the root cause of the issue.
