Updating from 3.7.2 to 3.8.1 gives:
Row size too large. The maximum row size for
the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. This includes storage
overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or
BLOBs SQL=ALTER TABLE `#__cck_store_item_content` CONVERT TO CHARACTER
SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; Package Install: There was an error installing an extension: plg_content_cck.zip
Any hint how to solve that? cheers

This can be basically fixed in 2 ways:
increase server limits
or
- change your table columns types - most usually what needs to be chaged is that varchar columns are converted to text before you attempt upgrade.
Don't forget to backup before doing any changes!

Thanks, converting some fields to text helped.
