Public bug reported: I ran an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 with 1.9GB free space. No warning was given about insufficient free space. I received two popup windows during the upgrade informing me that I was low on space and this went down to less than 100MB (as I manually freed up space).
The problem may be: 1. ~1800 packages are downloaded (this could be the amount of free space it thinks it needs 2. After upgrading and removing old packages it uses a net amount of ~500MB (this could be the free space it thinks) 3. During unpacking and installing 1800 packages it uses 2GB+ <== this is definitely not the amount of space it thinks it needs. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986272 Title: Update manager doesn't calculate free space correctly for distribution upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/986272/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
