Although moving your apt cache is probably the better solution, you can also try this: - `apt-get clean` - `apt-get upgrade`, hit 'no' when asked if you're sure you want to do this - `apt-get install <a handful of package names from the upgrade list>` - Repeat until done It's more work, but, if you're short of space system-wide, you can do your upgrade a few packages at a time, cleaning out the package cache after each batch, and get by on very little disk space for package cache.
