[Bug 460818] [NEW] Wordpress 2.8.5 Update breaks the update.php file

[Queue29]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wordpress

*******************************************************************
I am sending this bug report not from the machine with the problem, as ubuntu servers cannot file bug reports!
*******************************************************************

The original install was Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with package wordpress 2.8.4

Just recently, security update wordpress 2.8.5 was pushed.

This update causes this breakage:

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn't find constant
WP_CORE_UPDATE in /usr/share/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/update.php on
line 33

This line appears on every admin/editor page when logged into wordpress.

I do not *think* this is a security vulnerability, but then again, web
development is not my area.


Attached is the broken file, update.php (for my particular install, though I imagine it's the same for all wordpress installations after being broken by the 2.8.5 update)
