Grepping for “wordpress 3.8” in my WordPress installation took me to “schema.sql”.
There I found the entry

(101, ‘_site_transient_update_core’, ‘O:8:”stdClass”:4:{s:7:”updates”;a:2:{i:0;O:8:”stdClass”:10:{s:8:”response”;s:6:”latest”;s:8:”download”;s:47:”https://de.www.ads-software.com/wordpress-3.8-de_DE.zip”;s:6:”locale”;s:5:”de_DE”;s:8:”packages”;O:8:”stdClass”:5:{s:4:”full”;s:47:”https://de.www.ads-software.com/wordpress-3.8-de_DE.zip”;s:10:”no_content”;b:0;s:11:”new_bundled”;b:0;s:7:”partial”;b:0;s:8:”rollback”;b:0;}s:7:”current”;s:3:”3.8″;s:7:”version”;s:3:”3.8″;s:11:”php_version”;s:5:”5.2.4″;s:13:”mysql_version”;s:3:”5.0″;s:11:”new_bundled”;s:3:”3.8″;s:15:”partial_version”;s:0:””;}i:1;O:8:”stdClass”:10:{s:8:”response”;s:6:”latest”;s:8:”download”;s:39:”https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-3.8.zip”;s:6:”locale”;s:5:”en_US”;s:8:”packages”;O:8:”stdClass”:5:{s:4:”full”;s:39:”https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-3.8.zip”;s:10:”no_content”;s:50:”https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-3.8-no-content.zip”;s:11:”new_bundled”;s:51:”https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-3.8-new-bundled.zip”;s:7:”partial”;b:0;s:8:”rollback”;b:0;}s:7:”current”;s:3:”3.8″;s:7:”version”;s:3:”3.8″;s:11:”php_version”;s:5:”5.2.4″;s:13:”mysql_version”;s:3:”5.0″;s:11:”new_bundled”;s:3:”3.8″;s:15:”partial_version”;s:0:””;}}s:12:”last_checked”;i:1389340957;s:15:”version_checked”;s:3:”3.8″;s:12:”translations”;a:0:{}}’, ‘yes’),

containing lots of references to WordPress 3.8.

Looking for the “_site_transient_update_core” entry in the MySQL database (after a successful (manual) update to WP 4.3.1) I find the following value for it:

O:8:”stdClass”:4:{s:7:”updates”;a:1:{i:0;O:8:”stdClass”:10:{s:8:”response”;s:6:”latest”;s:8:”download”;s:65:”https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/release/de_DE/wordpress-4.3.1.zip”;s:6:”locale”;s:5:”de_DE”;s:8:”packages”;O:8:”stdClass”:5:{s:4:”full”;s:65:”https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/release/de_DE/wordpress-4.3.1.zip”;s:10:”no_content”;b:0;s:11:”new_bundled”;b:0;s:7:”partial”;b:0;s:8:”rollback”;b:0;}s:7:”current”;s:5:”4.3.1″;s:7:”version”;s:5:”4.3.1″;s:11:”php_version”;s:5:”5.2.4″;s:13:”mysql_version”;s:3:”5.0″;s:11:”new_bundled”;s:3:”4.1″;s:15:”partial_version”;s:0:””;}}s:12:”last_checked”;i:1444055649;s:15:”version_checked”;s:5:”4.3.1″;s:12:”translations”;a:0:{}}”

containing references to WordPress 4.3.1 (which seems qutie reasonable to me).

Could the “schema.sql” file be the problem?

What kind of hosting issue could that be? What are you thinking of?
