Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
I was doing a cdromupgrade from hardy to intrepid, and I'm pretty sure I
had the necessary disk space (I got this piece of information running
do-release-upgrade).
However, when unpacking the new packages, the upgrade told me (in a
message window) that dpkg couldn't unpack some package. I can't remember
the exact message, but it wasn't a disk full message. I could see that
the problem was that issuing a df command.
So I manually deleted a number of files, collected some 400MB more disk
space, and closed the message window. This way the installation
continued smoothly.
I was disappointed by the fact that dpkg could not realize what was the
cause of the problem.
I suggest that dpkg check the disk full condition in case of problems.
Accidentaly, is it possible that the distribution upgrade app calculated
badly the necessary disk space?
