Package: dpkg Version: 1.15.8.10 Severity: normal "dpkg-deb -b" apparently uses some temporary files which can take some place. When it fills /tmp, it stops with a "no space left on device" error, but since it cleans up before exiting, the user is left with few clues as to where to add space. An explicit message would be nice.
FWIW, I hit that when using "make deb-pkg" on a linux kernel, using a debian-derived .config with KALLSYMS activated. Looks like my initial install (was it a squeeze CD I used last may ?) has setup a somewhat ridiculous <.5GB /tmp. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34.1-00003-ge5b0813-dirty (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 8.5-1 GNU core utilities ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii xz-utils 5.0.0-2 XZ-format compression utilities ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime dpkg recommends no packages.
