Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my sites from 6.15 to 6.16. The first one worked fine (apart from the semaphore error, which as others have noted, didn't actually affect the upgrade).
I'm trying to update two different sites now, and they are both experiencing the same problem: when I run the update.php, all modules show "no updates available" and when done, I'm still running 6.15.
* I did my backups of files and database
* Sites are in offline mode.
* I have downloaded and extracted the 6.16 tarball multiple times, with the same effect each time
* caches have been cleared on site and browser
To replicate, I go to update.php and select Continue. At the update screen, all modules display "no updates available." I select Update, it proceeds successfully (and quickly since it's not really updating anything apparently). At the "success" page, I can see the semaphore MySQL errors at the top of the page. When I go to the status page, it shows I'm still at 6.15.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

did you delete old files?
did you delete old drupal files before uploading new?
my solution to the same symptom
Yesterday I upgraded to 6.16 from 6.15 and for a while had the same symptom. I found I was uploading the new version to the incorrect directory. (My backup subdirectory had the same name as my site directory and caused the confusion.)
View your modules/system/system.info file making absolutely sure you are looking in your site's root directory. If you see that this file is still indicates 6.15 you will need to figure out why it is not being overwritten during your upgrade process. I am a raw newbie here and have no real authority. I am just trying to provide help based on my own somewhat embarrassing experience.
