Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: prevu

I am trying to compile kate from Karmic source using prevu on a Jaunty
machine with lots of hard disk space on all partitions. I have confirmed
that no partition is even close to maxing out. The highest usage is on
my root (/) partition at 59.6% with almost 8 GB free.

The build of qt4-x11-4.5.1 proceeds successfully until almost the end
when it fails with the message:

---
cp: writing `debian/libqt4-qt3support//usr/lib/libQt3Support.so.4.5.1': No 
space left on device
dh_install: command returned error code 256
make: *** [binary-install/libqt4-qt3support] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status2
---

Other relevant information:

1. lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 9.04
Release:        9.04

2. apt-cache policy prevu
revu:
  Installed: 1:0.5.2-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:0.5.2-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.5.2-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://ftp.iinet.net.au jaunty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3. What you expected to happen
I expected the prevu compilation from source to complete as there was no other 
error before this.

4. What happened instead
Compilation/installation aborted with the error message given above.

I have two questions:

(a) Why does this error occur?

(b) How can I work around it?

Many thanks.
P.S. Perhaps the problem is with an underlying python script or another package 
but I have encountered the error in prevu.
