Bug#246749: tetex-bin: upgrade to 2.0.2-14 fails (bogus 'No space left on device')

[Ivan Nestlerode <nestler@speakeasy.net>]

Hi,

This is the original submitter of this bug. Please do not close the bug.
If the problem is that I need more /tmp space, then this bug should be
reassigned to the new Debian installer. This partitioning was given to me
by the Debian installer (snapshot from 4/23/04) on a 120GB disk, so if it did
not give me a large enough /tmp partition to even install certain packages,
that is obviously broken.

This was under the "install multi-user system" option during the
partitioning step.

Do you still want me to run those other commands, or is it settled that
this is just a matter of disk space?

Thanks,
-Ivan
