Umm... disk full?

I seem to have encountered an interesting one.


On a Debian ( Knoppix -> HD ) server that I administer, apt-get (
dselect ) has suddenly run into an interesting problem.

I am logged in at the console, and attempting to update dpkg ( among
other things, but it is first ).  The process stops ( fails ) saying
that it can not write /usr/sbin/install-info.

OK, so I look at it, and it is owned by root, with 755 permissions.
/usr/sbin itself is the same.  If I try to delete "install-info" as
root, from the command line, I get the same message ( permission denied
).

I don't see any evidence of SE Linux on this system, Mount claims that
the filesystem ( / ) is mounted rw.

I can't create a file in /usr/sbin, but can in /usr and delete it too.

Anybody have any suggestions?


Thanks,
Brian
