Out of curiosity, I temporarily sed'ed my desktop's sources.list (which contains some non-devuan lines like deb-multimedia and emdebian) from jessie to ascii for a "dry run": $ df -h | grep sda /dev/sda3 12G 8.6G 1.1G 89% / /dev/sda1 113M 23M 87M 21% /boot /dev/sda4 60G 26G 32G 45% /home $ apt-get update && apt-get -s dist-upgrade [...] 1895 upgraded, 398 newly installed, 98 to remove and 14 not upgraded. Need to get 2,064 MB of archives. After this operation, 1,135 MB of additional disk space will be used. [...] IIUC, apt unpacks the archives "on the fly" - so in my case of a quite lightweight but well equipped desktop system, the upgrade to ascii would need more than 3GB of free disk space: about 2GB (temporarily) in /var/cache/apt/archives/ to download the .debs plus >1.1GB for ascii itself, probably the very most of it in /usr/. With limited disk space, it can help to first "upgrade" and then "dist-upgrade" in a second step, after deleting the content of /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder (the downloaded .debs). An other possibility could be to "mount -o bind" a directory on some other partition or (thumb)drive to /var/cache/apt/archives/ for the duration of the dist-upgrade. libre Grüße, Florian
