Automatic upgrades stalls on the last kernel release
I seem to have a problem with automatic updates on my system. The AU
system has been unable to function normally for some time and I now
have something like 61 updates waiting in the queue.
When I try to process the updates, it seems to choke on the Linux 3.2
for 64 bit PCs entry, which is linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64-3.2.60-1
+deb7u1 (64bit)
reported as 23.4MBs.
The error is "Failed to process request." and more details are
-
'cannot copy extracted data for '.lib/modules/3.2.0-4amd64/kernel/
drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt61pci.ko' to '/lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt61pci.ko.dpkg-new'.
If I manually copy the file and rerun the update, it just produces a
similar error message with a different file name.
df returns the following;
test:# df

1. I'm wondering if it's a disk space issue.
Can I purge all the update queue and try to update the kernel on its
own then the remaining updates.
Guiadance would be appreciated,
