package flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.12.36ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade:

[Laurynas Biveinis]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

This came up during 8.04 -> 8.10 upgrade. From what I was able to see on console before upgrade continued, it looked like no free space on root partition. I was doing this upgrade by barely having enough free space so that update-manager was not complaining about free space. Perhaps update-manger free space estimation before starting the distribution upgrade is overoptimistic and should be tuned?

Before continuing I opened a new shell and figuring that that the new deb files are already extracted, did "sudo apt-get clean", dunno if it's good idea.

Sorry for vague report...

According to "debconf: DbDriver "config": could not write /var/cache/debconf/config.dat-new: No space left on device", not a flashplugin-nonfree bug.

Yes. And since the update-manager calculates required free space before attempting the upgrade, perhaps it could be updated to account for additional flashplugin-nonfree requirements?
