I'm upgrading an Intel Compute Stick - it started with a vanilla openSUSE 13.2. The root filesystem has about 7Gb, currently only 450Mb available.
During zypper patch I get this:
Installation of glibc-locale-2.19-16.18.1 failed: Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: installing package glibc-locale-2.19-16.18.1.x86_64 needs 39MB on the / filesystem
To test it, I created a 39MB file in /tmp, so what is the real problem?
Answer in https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-10/msg00071.html thread IIRC. IIRC, package management system mishandling hard links when calculating requirements for the lebenty gazillion files in that rpm. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
