I'm trying to upgrade a few plugins, but the /modules/plugin name directory was being shown with this error. What should the permissions ideally be? Another thing that I found strange was that only the German language was listed below the plugin name. The plugins I was trying to upgrade are aboutpage and contactowner.

Permissions issue I suspect and this faq will help out.

Turns out I needed to chown some of the plugin folders to www-data, wheras they were owned by my username previously.
