Further testing with a 64 bit Karmic system now shows this problem. With ramdisks mounted on /tmp and /var/cache/apt/archives (with a directory "partial" created), the no space message appeared for a 40M download for both the ...archives directory (possibly valid, but I thought the default was 64M), and the /tmp directory, with the same 5.234M additional space needed. Removing the ...archives ramdisk removed the associated error message, but the /tmp message presisted, just like on the 32 bit Karmic system. Removing the /tmp ramdisk allowed the update to proceed normally. All updates were attempted via the "System/Administration/Update Manager" menu entry.
