@skyerjoe maybe your device is out of storage capacity to perform any application upgrade? @Bubu any idea / other feedback with the same issue?

This should be strictly an fdroid client issue and not something to do with element. I recommend reporting this at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient instead.

(Yes it somewhat sounds related to storage capacity problems which would happen with element instead of other apps, as its significantly larger. But without additional information I can't really tell what exactly is going on.)

As a workaround you can clear all data of the fdroid client to clear up space (this will delete custom repos and settings, beware) and then download the element apk file from the fdroid website: https://f-droid.org/repo/im.vector.app_40102020.apk
