apt-get enhancement
Quite often, apt-get upgrade (and dist-upgrade) tells us there's
insufficient disk space in /var.
When this happens, I use the following 2 lines until the upgrade is complete:
apt-get install `apt-get upgrade -s | grep "^Inst " | cut -d" " -f2 | head -40`
apt-get clean
Sometimes, I have to intersperse these with the odd apt-get install -f
or even use dpkg in the raw (to install a package or use --pending
--configure). Sometimes, things do get desperate and I have to resort
to removing packages that are causing problems before apt-get allows me
to continue.
Please can apt-get be enhanced to do the right thing in this case and
essentially go through the necessary hoops itself rather than require
manual intervention?
