Upgrading to precise Pangolin 12.04 has lead to problems like this on my Ubuntu pc. Its linux header documentation files that won't install because of not enough space on device:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.2.0-24_3.2.0-24.37_all.deb: error creating directory `./usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-24': No space left on device E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic_3.2.0-24.37_i386.deb: error creating directory `./usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic': No space left on device E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae_3.2.0-24.37_i386.deb: error creating directory `./usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae': No space left on device df shows /usr to be: df /usr Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 4504400 3917004 361624 92% /usr But, sda5, mounted as root or /, shows to be only half full by GParted, where /usr is. Disk Usage Analyzer shows / to be 100% where /usr is at 41.5%. Looks like Ubuntu Linux 12.04 isn't being smart about how much hard space is really left. And, another anomaly is df /proc: df /proc Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on proc 0 0 0 - /proc Where /proc does have a lot of stuff in it. This /usr not having enough space issue is also leading to app-port problems where processes are failing from broken pipes. And, weird behaviors where control is lost and app windows go blank. Only a Terminal issued shutdown works where no gui control is, there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541595 Title: [Master] package failed to install/upgrade: package is already installed and configured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dpkg/+bug/541595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
