Sorry if this is obvious. The current situation is that I have no "disk" 
space left and the upgrade is paused (^Z) after fetching 464 MB. I have 
minimal user-installed "stuff" on the system so it appears to have been 
filled up with this upgrade attempt.

I thought I would be installing the "firmware-ti-connectivity" package (for 
the first time) and upgrading the "bb-wl18xx-firmware" package to a newer 
version. The former seemed OK, but the latter (apparently) pulled in 
another 200+ packages. Did I do that incorrectly?

Am I to "apt remove <pkg> --purge" each of the 200+ packages that were 
(apparently) pulled in?

Still, how do I perform the upgrade to get the possible fix for my 
connectivity problem within available disk space? (is it impossible?)
