Updating to 3.3.0.16 fails via UI and terminal.

I don't know have anyone had this question, I couldn't find anything similar. Anyway I have Sony Xperia 10 dual sim. I bought and installed Sailfish OS few months ago. Now as the 3.3.0.16 update came, and I tried to install it via the GUI, it downloaded it alright, but the updating failed and asked me to try later or something like that. I tried to do it again, then the GUI version said that not enough space, and that it requires -1 free bytes and I have 0. (I do have 40GB free space left) Then I decided that I'll try to do it manually.

I did the steps on on the official 'manual installition guide' through SSH, but all I have now is this in my console:

[root@Xperia10-DualSIM nemo]# pkill store-client
[root@Xperia10-DualSIM nemo]# rm -rf /home/.pk-zypp-dist-upgrade-cache/*
[root@Xperia10-DualSIM nemo]# rm /home/nemo/.cache/sailfish-osupdateservice/os-info
rm: remove regular file `/home/nemo/.cache/sailfish-osupdateservice/os-info'? y
[root@Xperia10-DualSIM nemo]# ssu re 3.3.0.16
Changing release from 3.3.0.16 to 3.3.0.16

The percentage that should be visible all time (as the official manual installition guide says) doesn't show up after like a ten minutes of waiting, so I suspect that the process is just stalling there.

Here's the content of the repo file the warning is about:

[openrepos-Almindor]
name=openrepos-Almindor
enabled=1
autorefresh=0
baseurl=plugin:ssu?repo=openrepos-Almindor
type=rpm-md
gpgcheck=0
-Almindor

I wouldn't really mind updating the OS, but the GCC 8.3 toolchain update gives me hopes of WebEngine based native browser.

Also notice; I did those steps already once, that's why the version didn't change after the ssu re command. Also I'm nota linux wizard I know the basics and I know my way around with terminal, but I'm definitely not proficient with it.

Help, would be appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: Alright I moved the ssu_openrepos-*.repo files into another directory temporarily, and this fixed the issue. The GUI installition worked out perfectly after this.
