It's not a bug. A default of 10% of a filesystem is reserved for root's
use when a filesystem is created. The amount of blocks available which
df reports is the amount usable by anybody (modulo any quotas). It
does not include the amount reserved for root.
When you "apt-get install wmmatrix", you were doing it as root. That
is why it succeeded.
