Sounds like your /var partition is full. What does 'df -m /var' say? You need to either increase the size of the /var partition or symlink /var/cache/apt to another partition with more room. The later is the quick and easy solution. cd /var/cache mv apt /path/to/partition/with/room ln -s /path/to/partition/with/room/apt apt -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
