Updating e2-micro instance fails - Debian 11

I have a e2-micro instance running in Google Cloud. I can connect to it and it seems to be okay. However there are 30 updates that need to be applied. In the past, it's taken a while to apply updates, but it's always worked. Now, it tries to update google-cloud-cli from version 499 to 504 and it never completes. None of the other updates (python, php, etc) never get applied. When I try to run "apt upgrade", Debian tells me that dpkg was interrupted and that I need to manually run "dpkg --configure -a". I've done this a number of times - it tries to update google-cloud-cli, but never completes. I've tried restarting the VM, but that doesn't seem to make a difference in the update process - it still doesn't complete.

Has anyone else encountered something like this? Suggestions to fix it?

Thanks,

Bob
