Comment (by programmin):

 As a side note, it looks like it never checks permissions when upgrading
 WP plugin. You can reliably test this by doing sudo chmod -R 544
 ./nextgen-gallery/products/ for example.

 If there is a permissions problem (or, out-of-memory or any other fatal
 error when upgrading) the plugin will be incomplete - for example:

 Installing the latest version…

 Removing the old version of the plugin…

 Could not remove the old plugin.

 Plugin update failed.




 Worse yet, there is now no way to re-install the plugin short of manual
 FTP, even if permissions are corrected or the source of the fatal is
 resolved:



 Unpacking the package…

 Installing the plugin…

 Destination folder already exists. (directory)

 Plugin install failed.
