 * Same here, not being able to complete update and unable to update plugins. Allready
   tried everything I can think of (manually update, deactivate plugins), but nothing
   will work.
 * Can I delete this plugin en put back 4.3?

 * > An automated WordPress update has failed to complete
 * If the automatic update did not work on your server, then try **MANUALLY** updating.
   Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, 
   and use that to copy up all files and folders **EXCEPT the wp-config.php file
   and the /wp-content/ directory.** You may need to delete the old wp-admin and
   wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Read
   the Manual Update directions first.

 * If the above info didn’t help you, then, as per the [Forum Welcome](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post),
   please [post your own topic](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform).
   That way you stand a good chance of getting full attention to your specific issue.
   Despite any similarity in symptoms, your issue is likely to be completely different
   because of possible differences in physical servers, accounts, hosts, plugins,
   theme, configurations, etc. Thus one problem, on one setup is not indicative 
   of the functionality and reliability of an application as a whole.

 * It is likely that your server’s /tmp directory is full. Been seeing a lot of 
   these around lately.
 * Contact your hosting service.
