Bug Description
My root partition was out of disk space.
I guess this is a dpkg-bug that should be re-assigned to dpkg?

What I expected/what happened:
I expected dpkg to tell me that the partition was out of disk space and ask me if I wanted to continue or not.
If I did not answer for 10 minutes, I would expect dpkg to give up, exit gracefully and tell me which command I should type in order to resume the operation. If I were running Synaptic, I would expect it too pick up the problem and handle it gracefully too.
What happened was apport detected a crash, I went out of diskspace, I had to manually delete packages from the dpkg-cache without knowing which were installed or not, I had to run dpkg --configure -a and fix a broken package.
I also ended up doing this, in order to save a bit more space for each package I installed:
for $f in *.deb; do sudo dpkg -i $f; sudo rm $f; done
I would expect dpkg to be at least that smart, in order to save disk-space when needed. Or is that apt's job?
I don't know exactly which package is to blame here, but this is a bug in my view.

I see there are also other funky error-messages in DpkgTerminalLog.gz, like this one:
///usr/

I have no idea if this is considered a bug or not. Is it?
