Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
When running 'do-release-upgrade -d', it complains about not enough space in /var (978 MB needed). I didn't want to repartition so by suggestion of NoelJB and several others (thanks), I symlinked /var/cache/apt and /var/tmp to new directories (root filesystem, 2.2 GB available, see attachment). The upgrade failed with the same complaint about needing more space in '/var'.

This appears to be Bug 106804 again. That one is marked as fixed. Haven't looked to see why it is broken again.
