That error message is indicating that Tails thinks that there is not enough free memory in DRAM on your computer. How much DRAM does your computer have?

I had this happen to me a while back. There's not much you can do besides getting a new USB, unless you're willing to wipe the USB you have right now. Basically, it was explained to me that your USB fills up with all the iterations of upgrades so that it eventually runs out of enough space to do another upgrade. At that point, you need to just install TAILS to a new USB, either by cloning or by upgrading a new USB stick via a downloaded .iso. You'd need to first clone TAILS to a new USB via TAILS Installer, and then use the "Upgrade from ISO" option for the new USB in the TAILS installer. Hope that makes some sense.
