 * Somewhere, something is bonked. Try upgrading manually for this time, then automatically
   next time.
 * From [Upgrading WP](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress):
 * `Note that your files all need to be owned by the user under which your Apache
   server executes, or you will receive a dialog box asking for "connection information,"
   and you will find that no matter what you enter, it won't work.`
