Upgrade Failed 24.11 to 25.07 - "Maximum execution time"

[james_h]

I tried to upgrade to 25.07 from 24.11 and am receiving the following error

PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /etc/inc/xmlparse.inc, Line: 117, Message: Maximum execution time of 900 seconds exceeded

I tried removing packages and still recieve the same error and system reboots back to 24.11 after 15 minutes

Looking at the /etc/inc/xmlparse.inc file, line 117 seems to be part of below but I'm none the wiser on deugging this:

	/* Special case handling for erroneous empty $listtag elements. Pop the most
	 * recent $listtag element off if it is a string AND is zero length. */
	if (isset($listtags[strtolower($name)])) {
		$ptr = &$parsedcfg;
		foreach ($curpath as $path) {
			$ptr = &$ptr[$path];
		}

I suggest having a look at this post. In my case, anyways, this was what caused the script to time out.

@eloich Thanks, this worked. Was back online in 2 mins of reboot and I didnt remove any packages this time either.
