The machine's got 3GB of RAM, and 2GB of swap. My 800MB VirtualBox instance isn't helping. > I'd be curious to see how much memory pkg is taking up at this point, > assuming you can reproduce the problem. I'm just trying again while watching using prstat, and it looks like initially it was using 37MB of RSS for a few minutes, and then goes up to a steady state of 350MB while downloading everything. In the Removal Phase, it jumps to 376MB. Update phase: 396MB And it has failed again at the same point. "swap -lh" was consistently reporting 1.2GB free through the whole procedure (2GB - Virtualbox?), so it isn't completely clear that it is out of memory. >> That's a bit confusing - errno 12 is ENOMEM, not ENOSPC. > > That's the standard message for ENOMEM, for better or for worse -- a > libc > thing, not pkg, not python.
