Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
when testing the "update-manager -d" to upgrade from kubuntu edgy to feisty beta4, the program broke off, because it didn't find enough space available in /var/cache/apt. Ok, fine, I ran apt-get clean, re-ran update-manager, the same problem (less now, of course). So I moved /var/cache to another partition and created a symlink to that (ln -s /local/cache cache).
Another run should have found the disk-space to be plenty large enough
/dev/sda9 223G 169G 55G 76% /local
but, no go!
I don't want to have to repartition the disk to try this upgrade procedure!.
I would like to upgrade. because I'd like to test whether the photo printing has improved over edgy...
Cheers
Simon
