[Dave Gilbert (ubuntu-treblig)]

the 'failed in buffer_write(fd)' is a little odd - are there any other errors in your logs (dmesg output might be useful) and check for free disc space - that looks more like dpkg couldn't write to the file.

[Joe Leonard (joe-lynyrd)]

Hi Dave,

I think I figured out that it's a disk space issue. I am running Ubuntu from a 1G partition on a thumb drive with an additional 1G partition for persistence (casper-rw). Suspect I may need to double those partition sizes to be able to run all the updates and add-ons...

not gcc-4.3 specific

[Dave Gilbert (ubuntu-treblig)]

Ok Joe,
  So given it's a disc full - are you happy closing this or do you think something should have told you something clearer?
(I'm not sure where to report it?)

Dave

[Tera (martin-wirth)]

Hey,

I don't know why, but just a little time later everything worked.

Thanks for the help anyway.

I think this is a duplicate of Bug 312491 where better error messages for out-of-space issues are discussed.
