i am having a similar problem, the updater tells me to free at least 48.8M of space on /var/cache/apt/archives/ but according to df i have 1.2GB available on that partition.
/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log contains: (...) 2007-03-24 10:17:56,578 DEBUG Free space on /: 1232293888 2007-03-24 10:17:56,579 DEBUG Dir /usr mounted on / 2007-03-24 10:17:56,580 DEBUG Dir /var mounted on / 2007-03-24 10:17:56,581 DEBUG Dir /boot mounted on / 2007-03-24 10:17:56,582 DEBUG Dir /var/cache/apt/archives/ mounted on / 2007-03-24 10:17:56,583 DEBUG Free space on /home: 1611534336 2007-03-24 10:17:56,584 DEBUG fs_free contains: '{'/var': <DistUpgradeControler.FreeSpace object at 0x9b6a9c4c>, '/home': <DistUpgradeControler.FreeSpace object at 0x9b6a9b6c>, '/boot': <DistUpgradeControler.FreeSpace object at 0x9b6a9c4c>, '/usr': <DistUpgradeControler.FreeSpace object at 0x9b6a9c4c>, '/': <DistUpgradeControler.FreeSpace object at 0x9b6a9c4c>, '/var/cache/apt/archives/': <DistUpgradeControler.FreeSpace object at 0x9b6a9c4c>}' 2007-03-24 10:17:59,311 DEBUG dir '/var/cache/apt/archives/' needs '1281071154.0' of '<DistUpgradeControler.FreeSpace object at 0x9b6a9c4c>' (1232293888.000000) 2007-03-24 10:17:59,312 ERROR not enough free space on /var/cache/apt/archives/ (missing 48.8M) the line dir '/var/cache/apt/archives/' needs '1281071154.0' makes me think the 44.4M displayed in the dialog is wrong and should be ~1280M ? -- Not enough free disk space https://launchpad.net/bugs/95260 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
