Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pclziputilpathreduction() (previously declared in /home/******/public_html/territorian/blog/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/lib/pclzip.lib.php:5421) in /home/******/public_html/territorian/blog/wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php on line 5498

That is when I hit the upgrade link.

Just from the sounds of it, sounds like a corrupted upgrade,
I would try manually upgrading to the latest, by hand.

I will look into this error in detail by code, and find out what
is sourcing it, and why it would be declared twice!

*added: I would also highly recommend upgrading any plugins
out of date, there's about 4-6 major plugins whom conflict with
the new version. wp-print, wp-email, wp-sticky, whom I use
2 out of 3 listed. without upgrading it will give errors.

disable that auto upgrade plugin.

This is the correct answer. The automatic upgrde plugin is causing the error. Well, we dont need that one any more anyway. One less plugin to clutter things up.

I haven't updated yet to 2.7.1... Maybe I will check it out later. I believe it is indeed the best blogging cms out there...

Now updating your WP takes about 2 or 3 seconds (at least thats how long it took for me). At the top of your admin page you will see a link to update. Just keep in mind that if you had previously been using the auto update plugin you will need to deactivate it.

Ah that could be it. The host that is on doesn't have upgrade facilities in fantastico so I used the plugin.

The upgrade function we are talking about is not in fantastico. It is right in the WP admin and was added with the 2.7 version. You should see a link up at the top of your admin page that will let you update with one click.

I was using that upgrade plugin for a long time but now it is no longer necessary.

wordpress 2.7 and onwards has got auto update built in the core.
No need for that plugin.

Yes I know all that, but some hosts have an updated fantastico that tells you when a new version is available and you can upgrade with one click instead of all the "click here to go to the next task" with the plugin. I used that instead of the plugin for those sites.
