Well, just because you just bought the hard disk means nothing. :) Run "df" on it and see how much space is REALLY left in /tmp. Maybe it really is full. Have you tried rebooting? IIRC when you reboot, Debian clears /tmp. If some rogue program dumped a bunch of stuff there and filled it up, that might fix it. Also, is /tmp on a separate partition? You do know that hard drives can be partitioned, right?
