Update. As it seems that my wordpress instance does not have the 'wp_'
prefix on most of the database tables, it was 3 new lines in the updated
/etc/wordpress/wp-config.php that caused the problem:
if (!isset($table_prefix)) {
$table_prefix = 'wp_';
}
The fix was to restore the wordpress database from backup and then add
one line, setting $table_prefix to '' in my site's /etc/wordpress
/config-default.php where the database passwords are.
$table_prefix = '';
And then run the Automatic Updater normally:
http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/update-core.php
