Confirm that the file is present and that $IP in LocalSettings.php
points to the correct directory.

Try changing this line of maintenance/FiveUpgrader.php:
dbsource( 'maintenance/archives/patch-interwiki-trans.sql', $this->dbw );

to:
dbsource( $IP . '/maintenance/archives/patch-interwiki-trans.sql',
$this->dbw );
