I have manually tried to update to 3.8.3 on my Wordpress site but I am recieving the following
" Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-3.8.3-no-content.zip…
Unpacking the update…
The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: wp-admin/includes/update-core.php
Installation Failed "
Please note I have done the following after looking at a similar post
" sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www
sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www "
Cheers, Mike

Running “sudo chown -R www-data /var/www” should do it. If not, could you post the output of “ls -la /var/www”?
