I have some more information. I tried installing again. the same thing happened. Everything unpacks ok until it reaches emacs20 this is what it says: Unpacking emacs20 dpkg: error processing ./emacs20.20.3-7.deb ( --install): error writing to the 'usr/share/emacs/20.3/leim/skk/skkdid.elc': No space left on device. dpkg-deb. subprocess paste killed by signal (broken pipe)
Then several other programs are broken and then the error ends with: unable to flush /var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.; after padding: no space left on device dpkg: failed to write status record about 'libdnd1' to '/var/lib/dpkg/status': no space left on device. Installation OK. Hit Return. What does all this mean? When I try to go back into dselect and select "select" I get the error: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dokg/updates/0039' near line 1: newline in field name '#padding' So dselect is unusable.
