Re: question regarding no space left on device message

Hi Brian,

It helps partially, but I think (I have not yet tried it in a particular case) the problem is not in var/cache/apt/archives ... Even if the necessary packages are stored someplace else, if the system you are running is low on space, then the system won't be able to complete the installation, and give a no space left on device error.

I wonder whether Section 4.4.3 of the Release Notes helps?
