Magento – Can’t update from 1.9.2.2 to 1.9.2.3

magento-1.9magento-connect-managerupgrade

I find the update workflow always very difficult in Magento. Most likely I'm not doing it correctly 😉
I go to the Magento connect manager. I hit the 'Check for updates' button.
After a while I see new versions of the packages are available.
I'm especially interested in the Magento Core updates so I select 'Mage_All_Latest' which is now at '1.9.2.2 (stable)' and select '1.9.2.3' in the select box.
Now I click the 'Submit changes' button and I wait.
The progress box is filled with messages about lib_* packages and other core packages not compatible with '1.9.2.3'

Isn't this the appropriate work flow? If not what is the use of the Connect Manager? I remember having the same issue when upgrading from 1.9.1 to 1.9.2.2 but evantually got it working. I don't remember how it did that, though 😉

I update via

download from magento.com
make sure VCS is clean, no changed files
copy all files over
commit

If you have changes in .htaccess and index.php it might be worth to check afterwards.

And of course you don't have core hacks.

I've just checked var/package/Lib_Varien-1.9.2.2.xml and it contains the following dependencies:

</dependencies>

So you should check your server and Magento install to see if all of this is in place. If it isn't you have to solve this before Lib_Varien-1.9.2.2.xml can be installed.

Magento 1.9 – Unable to Update via Connect Manager Since 1.9.2.3

If you will check for pkginfo/Mage_All_Latest.txt, you will see it's a directory. Just delete it.

See PHP, PHTML and other files get directories after updating via ./mage update-all
