      =======================SOLUTION <<<=======================

    Well deleting ‘wp-includes/date.php’ didn’t work because the updater needs it!
    Same with ‘wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader-skins.php’

    However the other 2 files didn’t mind being deleted!

    Solution was just to set the Permissions to ‘777’ on both ‘essential files!

    Installation went without a hitch!

    To make it easier for you don’t go to the bother of backing up and deleting any files, just set Permissions on all of them (the ones mentioned in your failure report) to ‘777’.
    No need to reset them to ‘644’ after successful installation, the Installer does it for you.

    I set Permissions through the CPanel ‘File Manager’ (last column on the right hand side) but you can use any FTP Program such as ‘FileZilla’ if you are so inclined!
    Cheers!

    I got a similar installation failure as the OP, only less problems:
    <<
    The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader-skins.php, wp-includes/js/zxcvbn.min.js, wp-includes/js/zxcvbn-async.js, wp-includes/date.php

    Installation Failed
    >>
    The 4 above-mentioned files all have Permissions 644, just like the rest, so I am thinking I should back them up and delete them and try reinstalling 3.8!

    I’ll let you know how things proceed
