Title:
update-manager should guest an estimative of upgrade size to prevent
running out of free disk
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager
This is a wishbug!
When users upgrade to the development version using update-manager -d or
do-release-upgrade -d stats should be collected and sent to some kind of
archive (after user allows them to) so that a approximated size necessary can
be calculated in order to prevent running out of free disk on future dist
upgrades by users (either still on development versions or Stable releases).
A rough number can be the size of the packages plus the necessary amount
unpack.
We could tie the old kernel clean up (last good kernel [1]) with
update-manager so more disk can be freed up in case there ain't enough free
disk.
