      Home user here, trying to update to 25.11.r.20251126.1732

      The update starts normally, then outputs the following:

      The process will require 136 MiB more space.

      System log has the following message from kernel:
      pid 71840 (pkg-static), jid 0, uid 0, was killed: failed to reclaim memory

      I've already deleted unneeded boot environments und uninstalled add-on packages.
      Any pointers?

        Thats almost always due to extra packages but if you've removed them my suggestion is to reboot and try again. Alternatively if you use RAM Disks try adjusting or disabling it.

          @ipsecwizard The other suggestion on an 1100 is to not use the GUI and instead reboot then upgrade via command line/console menu.

          Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.

            What i ended up doing is to go the shell route (thanks for the suggestion, @SteveITS) and started to kill processes like php-fpm and openvpn, which still showed up despite me stopping the service. Update worked fine after that.
