I ran into a similar problem in one of my updates of it.  I am currently 
running 1.68, and was running 1.4 and may have gone through the 1.5 
series.  There is documentation on the mediawiki site at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading the key that I think you 
may be missing is the command:

$ php update.php

Though there are some things with that, such as files moving (I believe) 
so what looks like it should be simple there are two versions of files 
there, one in /var/www/ and one on /usr/share/webapps, and I can't tell 
you what the difference is, and which is needed for what, but I believe 
both are indeed needed.

Please look at the mediawiki docs as I think they will give you what you 
need if this message hasn't.
