Why I hate Joomla!

Attempted to update a Joomla! install on a client’s site this

morning. The install apparently failed, immediately displaying:

Fatal error: Cannot make non static method JApplication::getRouter() static in class JSite in /home/frppro5/public_html/

includes/application.php on line 616

Nothing on the Joomla! forums or any answers as

near as I can tell. Wish they wouldn’t put in an automatic update feature if it’s not going to at least fail more gracefully than this did. Guess I’m just spoiled with WordPress…

    You upgraded a 1.5 Joomla install with the 1.6 patch.

    I am fighting this now.
    I have been reading there is a third party app you have to use to upgrade to 1.6
    Why is it not bundled in six? why is there not a version that has it already bundled in?
    Could I really be the only person on teh whole planet that thought to ask this?
    Hopefully not.
