Tried rebooting and updating again, no luck. Tried updating using GUI, no luck. Running on a raspberry pi zero w.

Never mind. It was a DNS issue that I managed to fix.

do you mind sharing your solution with us? I ran into the same issue and my sole solution by now is to add an additional nameserver entry to my resolv.conf which means, it doesn't persist and will fail again until I re-added the entry

I had the same issue, running DD-WRT and had recursive dns enabled. disabling it fixed it for me.

My blacklist is not shown in Admin Console after upgrade to 4.0. The are 2 files containing the data (black.list and blacklist.txt).

The blacklist is shown again. Maybe a cache issue?
