Unpacking the update.
Verifying the unpacked files
The update could not be unpacked
Installation Failed

anyone experienced this too?

It happens that the automatic upgrade doesn't work. You will need to do a manual upgrade.

Read this on how manually upgrade your Wordpress installation:
Updating WordPress « WordPress Codex

Wordpress automatic updates suck!

Do it manually.

agree don't use any auto update for wordpress and plugin ... mostly fail big time ...
