does this mean I don't have enough space on /user ???
Well check with 'df /usr'
Hi Richard,
Nope, df /usr says I've got 238 megabytes left. Besides, the only thing in /usr concerning kernel-source are docs. Surely there are not 29 megs of docs. The meat of kernel-source is found in /var which is a completely separate partition on my system.
Soooooo, I still have no idea why apt tells me it needs 29 megs in /usr.
Anyone ??? Any ideas ??
What happens if you use plain /usr/bin/rpm to install the rpm?
- cd to /var/cache/apt/archives - rpm kernel-source-2.6.8-24.10*rpm
I think you get the same error msg =>if so this would mean that rpm is confused.
Yep, tried that. Same result. So I then did a Yast update for the kernel which installed fine. Went back and deleted the kernel stuff in apt/archives and proceeded with the upgrade which worked just fine. Thanks for the input Richard. It is appreciated. Wonder if anyone else had this strange problem ?? Bob S.
