Finally back to this...
Automatic upgrade from WP 6.0.2 to 6.0.3 worked as expected. The update
completed, and I was taken to the about page to describe the new features.
Updating plugins is still not quite right, however:
1. When selecting a single plugin for upgrade, the status messages are
never displayed in the main window (downloading, extracting, applying,
plugin has been updated, click here to continue). The file is downloaded
and extracted correctly, however (or so it appears).
2. When selecting multiple plugins for upgrade, the same condition as above
is present, and only the first plugin in the list is updated.
This indicates to me that once the operation is fired to download and unzip,
the next instruction doesn't happen, i.e., update the page with the first
status message. I will investigate which instruction is failing, as I am not
seeing anything getting logged - anywhere. Perhaps this is a timeout setting
in php.ini; I can't tell, yet.
Interesting to note is that I get the same behavior from PHP 7.4.32 as
described above.
Cranking up the debug logging output from WordPress only reveals deprecation
notices. Whether these have any relevance WRT the above remains to be seen
(because as we know, deprecation notices are not errors).
Manual plugin install seems to work as expected. Perhaps this is something
broken in the latest WordPress 6.x code (or more likely, this test install).
