The problem is that the message is note super useful:

Another update is currently in progress.

And there was actually no indication on what to do. Well, if you know WordPress, you know that this is a temporary issue that will self fix since it’s tied to a temporary option. Once the option gets deleted via a cron task, the update will be doable.
