You need space to unpack the packages, I had the same problem using
apt,
it was /var that got full. I've
just done the installation in 4 ou 5 steps, selecting the packages to
install so that some space is left on the partition. When I got stuck
I just removed one of the packages and every thing went OK. I think I
could
probably try to mount a "big partition" on var or one the subdirectories
used by apt.
BTW why apt is using /var now? (I was using ftp) According to the
installation instructions my /var is only 100MB and that revealed too
small.
