my /var is 465M. i'm trying to do and apt-get upgrade, which i haven't in a while, and got the following message:
Need to get 69.0MB/109MB of archives. After unpacking 39.1MB will be used. E: Sorry, you don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/ to hold all the .debs. ... which is true: orange:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda5 93M 25M 63M 29% / /dev/hda1 29M 2.1M 25M 8% /boot /dev/hda6 6.0G 1.8G 3.8G 32% /usr /dev/hda7 30G 27G 2.3G 92% /home /dev/hda8 465M 407M 34M 93% /var /dev/hda9 465M 5.5M 435M 2% /tmp so, it's pretty full. 288M of that is in /var/cache/apt/archives, and are a lot of debs. can i safely delete these all to make room for the new ones? there's nothing here that i need for these packages to run, right? just checking. </nori> -- .~. nori @ sccs.swarthmore.edu /V\ http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori/jnl/ // \\ @ maenad.net /( )\ www.maenad.net ^`~'^ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
