Each time I upgrade, I unzip the archive to a new directory and copy over the images and

That said, commenting out the line with wfLoadSkin('Vector') still generates the

I'm not modifying $wgBaseDirectory anywhere in my LocalSettings.php, so I don't
see why it would be generating this error. (Note that all of the files in the stack trace
are MediaWiki internal files.)
Yeah, we are at this point, too. We experience the error but don't
know how to proceed.
I'm backing out of the MW 1.38 upgrade now. We can't proceed until the
Foundation fixes something.
