Summary: Software update should check available free space
before caching files
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: markreynoldsuk at gmail.com
Version: (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
My root partition is 6GB in size which is easily enough for the OS,
applications and multiple versions of the kernel, yet when I do a Software
Update enough data can be cached in /var/cache/apt/archives/ that the system
will fail part way through and I will be unable to login because KDE is unable
to write to the /tmp directory and I will have to boot off a live CD and remove
data manually and then tell apt to do a fix.
A simple way around this would be to use the output of the df command to get
the amount of free space and only cache that much minus some guard amount so
that, even if all of it were needed to perform the update KDE would still be
able to function.
