Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
apt-get install etc. will happily install packages and run root out of
space without any error message. In my case, I installed and updated
Gutsy on a older system with a 5GB root. I then tested out various apps
with it's proprietary video card. I installed a bunch of games
including Nexuiz. This left about 350MB free. After getting 0.5fps in
Nexuiz, I did a apt-get remove and then apt-get install alien-arena
(200MB). No messages from apt-get. The dpkg.log showed that it
installed normally. Obviously it didn't - the missing icons proved that
and df showed 0 bytes free on root. apt-get clean resulted in 1.2GB
free and and an apt-get install --reinstall alien-arena fixed the
problem.
This is not just a Gutsy issue as I've had similar problems with Edgy
and Feisty on small-drive systems. This may be related to Bug #126774
and Bug #90606
