It shouldn’t have been possible to do that unless you were upgrading to 4.2 while it was upgrading you to 4.1.3
Can you re-apply 4.2 please?
No, I’ve updated this morning, and automatic update came very later…
WP 4.1.3 ask me for re-install to 4.2.
It’s now done.

I thought I had 2 sites that did exactly this. I updated to 4.2 in the morning, then later in the evening (8-10 hrs later?) get an email saying they were updated to 4.1.3.
But I also had some sites (at least 4) that stayed at 4.2.
So I began to question if I actually updated those 2 (I sure do remember testing that the themes/sites still worked after the “update”).
Checking webserver log files though (search for “action=do-core-upgrade” if you’re looking) it would appear that I made a mistake – I failed to upgrade the 2 sites in question. Maybe I hit the “Download” button instead of the “Update” button, or who knows… but it appears to be user error in my case.
In my case, it was not.
For proof, on WP 4.1.3 dashboard, it was displayed that the site had been updated to 4.1.3 (!!!) but that I could “RE-INSTALL” WP 4.2…
Even more, I don’t understand why updating to a version, prior than the last version. If WP 4.2 exists, how can come an update to a prior version like 4.1.3 ?
