Ok. If it is a single package, then I wouldn't expect it to be "broken" afterwards, it should just not be listed as installed. With multiple packages, however, things are more interesting... > Heh, the "Installing" tab tells me gnumeric requires 32 megs of device > memory. I have 24 megs free.

They can be off by a factor of two or so, I'd say, in both directions. The package usually doesn't tell you how much space it really will take on a compressed file system like JFFS2, and a compressed filesystem like JFFS2 doesn't tell you how space really is free. >> Hmm.

There is a download cache (the usual one in in /var/cache/apt/archives/), but the Application Manager clears it after every operation. It could contain something when the device reboots in the middle of an installation. > Could it be that the file was truncated because there wasn't enough free > space? But wouldn't that cause a different error? Yes, I would say so. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
