Hi everyone! Thank you for your suggestions. They taught some new tricks.
As it happened, I had to reboot the machine for an unrelated (?) reason (monitor would not wake from sleep). After the machine rebooted, I was able to run `dpkg-reconfigure ntp` without error. Unfortunately, I'll never know what the problem was. Thank you all for your help. kj On Tue, Jan 31, 2017 at 8:28 AM, Brad Rogers <b...@fineby.me.uk> wrote: > On Tue, 31 Jan 2017 08:01:00 -0500 > Kynn Jones <kyn...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Kynn, > > >When I tried to install `ntp`, there was a "No space left on device" at > >the end of `apt-get`'s output, but `df` shows no shortage of space: > > I've no idea whether this is relevant to your case, but it's possible to > be unable to use disk space if there are insufficient inodes left to > store the relevant directory/file info.
