Bug Description
I am running Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 on a IBM Thinkpad T40p.
I started the upgrade to gutsy beta with the command
update-manager -d
In the step "Modification des dépôts logiciels en cours" (sorry I am in French. Its the second step), after the confirmation message for disabling some repositories, after the confirmation message informing about the packages that are not supported anymore by Ubuntu), the following error messages appears :
=======
Espace disponible sur le disque insuffisant
Abandon de la mise à niveau. la mise à niveau nécessite une quantité totale d'espace libre de 1769M sur le disque « / ». Veuillez libérer au moins 396M d'espace disque supplémentaire sur « / ». Videz la corbeille et supprimez les paquets temporaires des installations précédentes en utilisant la commande « sudo apt-get clean ».
=======
The first time I tried, the message was talking about 1100M of disc space required. I freed some disc space and retried. But that didn't work and then, each times I try, each times I free disc space and each times the message tells me that more space is required. Now, I have 1200M free in / and I don't know what I could delete...
How could I upgrade ?

Maybe it doesn't calculate the temporary disk space or it just reports the wrong one. Couldn't you change your partition size with gparted on the live cd?
