I am not sure what this means (my hlinux books are not available) nor
do I know what to do about this.
You're out of drive space on the /var partition.
Correction: it looks like it's your /lib partition (which is probably on
the / partition, which may also hold the /var partition, so the *clean
commands still may work; "df -h" should point you in the right direction).
