I'm not certain that my problem is due to an Ubuntu upgrade, but I'm running out of options.
My private Wordpress installation was working fine, including being able to upgrade plugins and WP versions within the application.
I've been doing all of the Ubuntu updates as I'm notified. I'm still on 9.10, but was planning to upgrade to 10.04 shortly - as soon as I get the Wordpress installation upgraded in fact.
But the plugin upgrades, and the Wordpress upgrades, are both failing with fopen errors, like so:
Download failed. Could not open handle for fopen() to http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/XYZ
After checking everything else I can think of (including temporarily making the wordpress directory hierarchy 777), and looking at the php.ini file, I wonder if some Ubuntu update is messing things up. Or if I've somehow changed something else that is causing the problem.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike
