This is turning into an "apt" tutorial - but searches haven't helped me find what I'm looking for.
I have killed the upgrade mis-stream. I think it successfully downloaded all the upgradable packages, and ran out of "disk" space while unpacking it. I don't know if anything was actually installed. I still have 0% free on /dev/mmcblkXX Is there a way to determine if any package was actually upgraded? Where are the downloaded packages? Can I just delete them presuming they were the unintended upgrades, and start again with the correct apt command as you provided in a later post On Wednesday, March 28, 2018 at 2:44:06 PM UTC-7, RobertCNelson wrote: > > On Wed, Mar 28, 2018 at 4:34 PM, ags <alfred.g...@gmail.com <javascript:>> > wrote: > > Sorry if this is obvious.
