Hi,
The upgrade fail on my server, here is the end of the log: https://paste.yunohost.org/vafawuweho.tex
The "Cannot allocate memory" is a bit odd since I have ~300Mb of free memory and 512Mb of swap.

1. free -h
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          494M       377M       117M        18M        11M       162M
-/+ buffers/cache:       203M       291M
Swap:         511M       420M        91M

Disk space is ok too:

1. df -H /var/www/roundcube
Sys. de fichiers Taille Utilisé Dispo Uti% Monté sur
/dev/vda1           21G     11G  9,7G  52% /

Even after the failure roundcube still works and seems to be updated to version 1.2.0. If I try another upgrade I got the same error.

So, after some research, I'll update the title since it's not related to the upgrade - neither Roundcube too.

Here is what the official documentation said and here is a larger topic with many answers that you have to pick...

Can you try those that you find relevant and tell us if one solved your issue please? To check if it's working, you can execute:

sudo sudo -u www-data COMPOSER_HOME=/var/www/roundcube/.composer php /var/www/roundcube/composer.phar require johndoh/contextmenu dev-release-2.1

Maybe there is really not enough free memory/swap on your system, but that would mean that we have to get rid of composer...

Thanks in advance!
