Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.5.4-1 Severity: minor When I run out of disk space downloading packages, aptitude continues downloading, seemingly unaware that its downloads are going nowhere. I would expect it to stop downloading packages if the system runs out of disk space to save on bandwidth.
Bug #377554 is related - it suggests warning the user when aptitude might cause the system to run low on free space. The amount of space freed by removing packages should not be counted in the calculation - in this case I was downloading 350 MB of packages and freeing 1000 MB with removals. The downloading happens first so the 1000 MB freed is moot. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.5 0.7.3 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.6-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.2-20070712-1 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.6-3 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.17-2 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.2-20070712-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: pn aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-do <none> (no description available) ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.0-1 parse Debian changelogs and output -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
