series of errors in upgrading drupal from 7.21 to 7.23

I'm getting a whole host of error messages since upgrading the core code: this message appears regularly:

Notice: Undefined index: name in _ctools_list_themes() (line 567 of /home/xxx/public_html/sites/all/modules/ctools/includes/plugins.inc).

and when going to admin pages I'm greeted with this:

Notice: Undefined index: name in block_menu() (line 146 of /home/xxx/public_html/modules/block/block.module).
Notice: Undefined index: name in block_menu() (line 165 of /home/xxx/public_html/modules/block/block.module).

Notice: Undefined index: name in theme_system_themes_page() (line 2739 of /home/xxx/public_html/modules/system/system.admin.inc).

I also cannot access the admin/config path or run update.php

I've tried doing a registry rebuild. that didn't seem to be the problem.

Everything is backed up & I have created a sql dump. Should I just completely wipe out the drupal site and reinstall? or is there an obvious patch to apply? it looks like the problem is in the modules part of the core code.

thanks.

How do you proceed when upgrading your core installation? Since all the errors seem to point to the Core install, it's unlikely ( although possible ) that the errors would actually be with Core itself.

I've done a few upgrades to 7.23 recently and all went fine. My preferred method is to use GIT, drush & rsync.
1/ Commit the latest state before upgrading
2/ Download last version in a separate folder
3/ Remove .git folder from downloaded version
4/ rsync latest version

It usually takes less than a few minutes.

1/ // Within my current install. let's call it /dev...
   git add .
   git commit -m "Drupal 7.21 before upgrade to 7.23"

2/ // Outside current install
   drush dl drupal //downloads the latest version

3/   rm -r drupal-7.23/.git* // removes all git info

4/ rsync -avz drupal-7.23/ dev //rsync versions
