Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.5.4-1
Severity: minor
When I run out of disk space downloading packages, aptitude continues
downloading, seemingly unaware that its downloads are going nowhere.
I would expect it to stop downloading packages if the system runs out of
disk space to save on bandwidth.
Bug #377554 is related - it suggests warning the user when aptitude
might cause the system to run low on free space.
The amount of space freed by removing packages should not be counted in
the calculation - in this case I was downloading 350 MB of packages and
freeing 1000 MB with removals. The downloading happens first so the
1000 MB freed is moot.
