Fatal after WordPress update

[agengineering]

Hi there,

I have tried to update WordPress in a local installation and I got a PHP error in admin area, the frontend works fine.

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting end of file in /srv/www/wordpress-one/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 753

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected ',' in /srv/www/wordpress-one/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-query.php on line 4360

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '->editor_sc' in /srv/www/wordpress-one/public_html/wp-includes/script-loader.php on line 2755

I have the same issue in 3 files:

class-wp.php | class-wp-query.php | script-loader.php.

To solve this issue you simply open each file, remove the last line and save it, nothing else. After that the problem disappear.

My local environment running vvv 3.1.1. I try to update WordPress via WP-CLI and via WordPress Dashboard and the problem persist.
Windows/Unix, no difference -> same issue.

I have tested it several time, same issue.

Thanks for your time.

​https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/VVV/issues/1819 has some context. Per the latest comment:

This issue is due to a kernel bug in a box we used to use. The latest version uses a newer box that doesn’t have this issue.

Back up your database, update VVV, destroy and recreate the VM.
