package dolphin install failed due to full disk

[Bob McGowan]

Binary package hint: kdebase

Actually, there were a bunch of packages that failed to install, due the disk being full.

The basic problem is that the Synaptic package manager and tools it uses failed to properly detect the full disk errors and shutdown processing. Rather, it continued until it had hosed the current session (Gnome - no menus, panels, context menus, etc).
