The problem you have is due to the fact that the package is trying to

You should consider creating a /etc partition and move /etc into that partition.
Really big "nope!" on that idea.
Hint: file systems are mounted based on /etc/fstab.
How do you find /etc/fstab if /etc has not yet been mounted?
Back to the problem at hand...
Another thing that can "hide" files is mounting something over them.
For example, imagine the following sequence of events:
1) create /mnt/nfs
2) write files to /mnt/nfs
3) mount a new file system to /mnt/nfs
now..those files you created are taking up space in /mnt (which is normally part
of /) but can not be seen by "du", because another file system is sitting on top
of it.
IN THIS CASE, I'd start by umount'ing all your /mnt file systems, and then look
at
how much space is sitting in /mnt now. I'm suspicious of /mnt, because it looks
like something that could have been done "out of order" -- the other files
systems
were most likely created at install time.
