dselect does not check for disk full http://bugs.debian.org/24950
Actually, the disk space needed will include a copy of *both* the old package version *and* the new one, since (for each package) rollback is allowed up to the run of the postrm (of the old instance of the package). So the required space for some update is more like: sum(.debs needed to be retrieved) + max( oldsize(i) + newsize(i), ... ) - conflicts without replaces (I think) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
