 * Hello! I am running my WordPress blog on my own Ubuntu Server with traditional
   AMP configuration. I have never been able to update WordPress automatically. 
   When I try to update now, I get these lines:
 *     ```
       Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php on line 340

       Installation failed!
       ```
   
 * ^^ The upper lines between code tags were originally Finnish because I’m using
   WP Finnish Translation, but I translated them here at this message edit box (
   they are not just exactly like the original ones but you can get the thing propably.
 * Any help is much appriciated! I have googled but I haven’t found a solution yet.
   Thanks in advance!

 * Oh, and in the class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php file, line 340 looks like this:
   `
   foreach ( $list as $k => $v ) {`
