During a KDE install I get an err msg saying out of disk space.
There was plenty of space on the disk, and I seem to recall seeing
a similar msg on -user, -kde or -devel in about the past day.
So I just wanted to post this in case others start to see a problem
like this.
========================================================================
I have a 3 week old woody system with KDE.
I decided to upgrade it to Sid so I could get the "kde" metapackage,
because woody only had the "kdebase" package.
As root I did:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
which went fine.
I changed /etc/apt/sources.list to point to sid
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
At some point here I got:
Preparing to replace kdelibs3 4:2.2.2-5 (using
.../kdelibs3_4%3a2.2.2-11_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement kdelibs3 ...
Preparing to replace ark 4:2.2.2-5 (using .../ark_4%3a2.2.2-8.1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement ark ...
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
debian:~/upgrade# exit
I continued on:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.

and that worked fine.
I then started KDE & web browsed, that worked fine.
I checked my df & had about 280MB free
I then did
apt-get install kde
It said
0 packages upgraded, 53 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded.

I think this process had some problem I can't recall.
I think I then continued again,
and here is where I got the error msg about being out of space, which
should not have occurred since the estimated size was well below the
available size.
I had to shutdown, reboot into another partition running a woody
from about 3 months ago, fsck, that found & fixed errors.
Then I rebooted into the newly upgraded Sid, and things are working
well enough for me to write this note.
========================================================================
I don't have time to investigate this further now. I'm just
posting this in case others start seeing this, they'll know someone else
had a similar problem.
Persoally, the next time I get back to this system I'm probably
just gonna wipe this sid & reinstall a fresh sid on the partition,
just to make sure I've got an error free install.
