    When I try to update my Akismet Anti-Spam from Version 4.1.9 to Version 4.1.12
    I get the following error messages:

    Warning: Declaration of Axiom_Plugin_Updater::download_package($package) should be compatible with WP_Upgrader::download_package($package, $check_signatures = false, $hook_extra = Array) in /home/bilshotc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/masterslider/admin/includes/classes/class-axiom-plugin-updater.php on line 29

    The update process is starting. This process may take a while on some hosts, so please be patient.

    Any suggestions what I can do to try and resolve this issue?

    It looks like the file permissions are not set appropriately on (probably) wp-content/plugins/akismet/. You could try removing that directory entirely and then re-installing Akismet.

    Alternatively, your Web host should be able to help you reset the file permissions so that you can update the plugin.
