Bug#468481: Incorrect error message when target /var partition is full

2008-02-29 Thread Olivier Guerrier
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

When/if you make a too small /var partition, d-i complains with tons of
/pool/.../blah.deb is corrupt messages, where a single disk full
message and a dialog option to go back to the main menu or partition
tools would be more usefull...

It is similar to #435769, but I think correcting the error message is a
more realist goal.

The problem is that this does not really have anything to do with the 
installer. The error messages are what apt/dpkg produce in this situation 
and they would also produce these same errors on an installed system 
if /var is full.

I'm a bit hesitant in reassigning this to apt/dpkg myself.

Cheers,
FJP

I'll look into it but I guess it's a dpkg issue, not sure yet.
