package mysql-server-5.0 5.0.67-0ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: not enough space available on partition

[Aaron Whitehouse]

Something has gone badly wrong on my MythTV box and I am now getting an error of:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
whenever I run mysql. I am trying to reinstall everything to try and fix it.

According to the log:

ERROR: There's not enough space in /var/lib/mysql/

What is the output of the following shell command:

 $ LC_ALL=C BLOCKSIZE= df --portability /var/lib/mysql

Thanks,

I'm working on Kubuntu 9.04 and got same error after system upgrade. For the space issue, it's not my case here given that

 $ LC_ALL=C BLOCKSIZE= df --portability /var/lib/mysql

returns:

Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda3 96124936 14192112 77049868 16% /

[Mathias Gug (mathiaz)]

@Hanen:

Could you post the apt terminal log file (/var/log/apt/term.log*) related to the failed upgrade?

[Mathias Gug (mathiaz)]

@Hanen:

According to the terminal log file, you're error is not related to this bug since there isn't any line 'ERROR: There's not enough space in /var/lib/mysql/' in the terminal log. Please open a new bug report if you're able to reproduce your problem.

Hey Mathias,

I am facing similar issue and here is the ouput for the following command.

$ LC_ALL=C BLOCKSIZE= df --portability /var/lib/mysql

Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
- 39220672 37710100 0 100% /

I tried just deleting everything under /var/lib as i am re-installing mysql to solve this issue. But i still get disk full error and i get the same output for the above command. How do I free the space?

Regards,
SG

Intrepid is no longer supported, can you try to reproduce this on lucid,maverick or karmic.
