Fatal error upgrading Drupal

Is this a permissions issue, or ???

Hi,

The bootstrap.inc file is located in the 'includes' directory
under your main drupal directory. The error message says that
the file is not found so the first thing to check is that
all the include files are there.

Did you copy all the new drupal files (including subdirectories)
to the installation directory ?

If this is an upgrade you can compare the previous installation
of drupal to see the location of all files.

How do yo install Drupal, manually, using some package manager ?
What Linux distro are you using ?

Best regards,

What user is the webserver running as?
