Hello!
I seem to have run into the same problem on my pocket reform, but the solutions above didn’t work for me. I hit the same snag about 5 days ago but only found this post yesterday. Let me know if I can provide any more info and if you have any ideas, and thank you for your time!
Absolutely no rush on this, computer is still totally fine and can be rebooted and whatnot, just can’t do any further updates
Here’s my current state:
uname -r
