Could you include the contents of sources.list, so I can see what methods you're using, and describe exactly what symptoms you see? When I manually generate a low-space condition, the http method does this: http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main libslang2 2.0.7-3 [Downloaded] http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main libattr1 1:2.4.32-1.2 [Downloaded] http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main tetex-base 2007-10 [Downloaded] http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main pfb2t1c2pfb 0.3-3 [Downloaded] http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main cm-super 0.3.3-5 [ERROR] Error writing to output file - write (28 No space left on device) [IP: 204.152.http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main texlive-metapost 2007-12 [ERROR] Bad header line [IP: 204.152.191.7 80] http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main context 2007.04.17-1 [ERROR] Bad header line [IP: 204.152.191.7 80] http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main debiandoc-sgml 1.1.102 [ERROR] Bad header line [IP: 204.152.191.7 80] http://ftp.us.debian.org sid/main dvi2tty 5.3.1-4 [ERROR] Bad header line [IP: 204.152.191.7 80] Then it hangs forever with a comment that it's "waiting for headers". This is arguably a bug, but it doesn't sound like what you describe. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
