Package: cron-apt Version: 0.4.6 Severity: wishlist When /tmp runs out of space, cron-apt sends an empty report message and prints some error messages on stderr, which gets mailed to the user in a cron message.
cron-apt could check for free space on /tmp in the beginning and print a more meaningful error message if, say, less than 10 MB is free. This will still break if /tmp fills up while cron-apt is running though.
