I have the same problem with the german version 4.1.
What can I do?
greetings KArl
Same for Dutch version here. ‘Blank’ upgrade screen.
Same here, English 4.1 version with MU …
I have the same problem with the french version
Same here, german 4.1 to 4.1.1.
Blank screen, not even maintenance mode is entered.
Same failures here with English version 4.1.1.
TWo sites. Blanks screens in admin section. That’s all.
Never had upgrades fail before on either site.
As also here, English 4.1.1 hangs. Reinstalled theme, reviewed child. Other plugin (Business Directory) updated fine…on the second try, though. ?????
“Solutions” are here, they are hacks.

I would wait for an official statement before hacking around.
@borstenhorst; the workaround that randymelder mentions is perfectly useable for this (one time) update.
Instead of submitting your FTP credentials using a form they will be “preloaded” from your wp-config.php.
Add (and edit) these lines to your wp-config.php:
define( 'FTP_USER', 'ftpusername' );
define( 'FTP_PASS', 'ftppassword' );
define( 'FTP_HOST', 'ftp.hostname.net:21' );
Add them just before /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
Delete those 3 lines out of your wp-config.php once the update is finished.

Thanks for the tip.
I just applied the suggested changes, went to the updates admin page and ran the update and all is well …! Worked like a charm!
