Update not working after Boot partition full and revertion of 9.10

[LVA]

Hi,

I've been running FreeNAS for over a year on a big Supermicro setup (32GB RAM, 30TB disk, 10GBe). It's been great up until last week. My USB boot drive finally filled up and the latest update kept failing.
I got to bottom of that by deleting previous versions from the GUI, but the update still wouldn't work.
So I reverted to a previous version of FreeNAS, and deleted the latest.
There was some futzing around at this point, but it's all working fine now apart from rolling forward to the latest version of FreeNAS.
I currently have the following on the boot drive -

FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201602031011 2016-03-18 15:22:00
FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201604041648 2016-04-06 11:05:00
FreeNAS-e9dd2aa0c143ea7cdbe91aaee021959e 2016-04-12 00:48:00
9.10-STABLE-201604181743 On Reboot, Now 2016-04-22 15:50:00

So, booting 9.10 from 2016/04/18.

The trouble is when I try to update from the GUI, I get-

Upgrade: base-os-9.10-STABLE-201604111739-e9dd2aa0c143ea7cdbe91aaee021959e -> base-os-9.10-STABLE-201605021851-d55ab9177fa7bbcd849b9f0687646c3d

Basically 9.10 from 2016/04/11 to 2016/05/21
Except, obviously, I don't have the 04/11 version on the boot device anymore...

I run the update anyway, it seems to download the packages then goes back to the Update page, no reboot, no installing. Repeating it does the same.

If I verify the install, it comes up with a very long list of files that have checksum matches, and a few with permission errors, but it all still run ok.

So, in summary, what can I do to fix this?

Easy answer is to download your config file, do a fresh install of the latest 9.10, and upload the saved config file. That doesn't directly address why it isn't working, but should fix it.
