Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
During upgrade from 7.10 ยป 8.04, the update manager aborted:
The upgrade needs a total of 961M free space on disk '/'. Please free at
least an additional 422M of disk space on '/'.
I freed the space, started again, and got the same error, this time
demanding for 1400MB of space. I managed to free the space by deleting
gimp, openoffice and eclipse - then I ran the update-manager again. It
then stated:
The upgrade needs a total of 2000M free space on disk '/'. Please free
at least an additional 422M of disk space on '/'.
This is ridiculous... (or is it because I freed space by deleting
programs in ubuntu-desktop that have to be reinstalled and thus needing
the space?)
This differs from "sudo do-release-upgrade" which says: The upgrade needs a
total of 1581M free space
on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 7419k of disk space
on '/'.
I am installing via "do-release-upgrade" at the moment, but this might
be bug in the update-manager.
If you need more information, please step up. /var/log/messages | syslog does
not contain an entry from this error. Any
update-manager: v0.81.3
