On 1.l5.0, update.php fails on the do_category_population() call (when update.php is running for the very first time). Comment out array( 'do_category_population' ) and update.php seems to work fine (no complaints, anyway). Removing the comment and running update.php a second time also succeeds (no-op). Any reason why update.php can't be smarter and just run the 1.15->1.16 bits? Happy to code that.
Summary sounds like a dupe of bug 19447, but the description indicates otherwise. Rephrase summary, or is this a dupe?
I don't it's a dupe - $wgLanguageCode was already 'en'. Tried setting it anyway, which made no difference.
Can you be more specific and say _what_ fails? What error message is generated?
Created attachment 6293 [details] update.php error message Sorry, should've included this in the first place.
Judging by the error message this *does* look like a dupe after all. Marking as such; if the error persists after updating to SVN HEAD, please reopen. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 19447 ***
