Re: Dist Upgrade w/ Limited Disk Space (was: warning for potato-users: "stable" in sources.list)

Have you done "apt-get clean", to delete all of the old potato
.deb packages?  Also, I don't know if this is possible or not,
because of package interdependencies, but, instead of one monolithic
"apt-get -u upgrade", maybe it's possible to upgrade in many
pieces with "apt-get -s -u install".  Ruthlessly going thru
/var/log deleting log files may also free up some needed space.
shouldn't you be doing 'apt-get dist-upgrade' ?

Suggestions:
Many times the sources.list file has more than one set of URL's for pulling the files. Change this to one to reduce the library + cache size in /var/apt.
Kill the log files as much as possible.
maybe you can kill /var/backups/..  or some of them.
Also, IIRC apache installs into /var. Do you need that? Can you tar-gzip it temporarily?
