"No space left on device" error, but df shows plenty of space



Hi everyone!

When I tried to install `ntp`, there was a "No space left on device" at the end of `apt-get`'s output, but `df` shows no shortage of space:

    # df
    Filesystem     1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sda5      381993164 206410036 156155956  57% /
    udev               10240         0     10240   0% /dev
    tmpfs            6588000      9676   6578324   1% /run
    tmpfs           16469996       108  16469888   1% /dev/shm
    tmpfs               5120         4      5116   1% /run/lock
    tmpfs           16469996         0  16469996   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
    tmpfs            3294000         8   3293992   1% /run/user/1000

According to `df`, the maximum percent usage is 57%.

So I tried `dpgk-reconfigure ntp` (as root), and got the same error:

    # dpkg-reconfigure ntp
    Error: No space left on device
    update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
    Error: No space left on device

How can I troubleshoot this problem further?

    # uname -ar
    Linux luna 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3 (2016-01-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks in advance!
