dpkg's job is to leave the system in a recoverable state when this sort of thing happens; I don't think it should get into the job of predicting how much disk space is available. That seems more like a job for higher- level tools like update-manager.
If dpkg didn't say "No more space on device", then that genuinely wasn't the error code it got from the kernel and/or the C library, though ... without an exact message it isn't possible to diagnose that problem further. ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: dpkg => update-manager -- dpkg doesn't detect disk full condition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
