We could probably do some checks of the various file systems involved, but
it's difficult to know how much additional space will be consumed by an
update.  The images do have a size parameter, but that's the size of the
compressed data files - they don't tell us anything about how much additional
space is required once they're unpacked and installed.

The other question is what to do if there's no space available.  While I agree
that the current situation isn't at all great, if we don't have a way for the
user (or even better, the system) to mitigate space issues, then it doesn't
make the situation that much better.  The device still won't successfully
update, although we would be able to tell them why.  We might be able to solve
that problem more easily though, by having system settings inspect the
recovery log file for errors after a reboot.

Title:
  Upgrade to OTA10 fails on Meizu MX4

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in system-image package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubuntu-download-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On Meizu MX4 upgrade from OTA-9.1 to OTA-10 fails.
  Upgrade downloads normally, phone restarts and starts system upgrade and 
after a while it freezes with strange icon (small microchip with red sign on it)

  When you turn off the phone and start it again it still presents itself as 
OTA-9.1 and again it founds and offer upgrade.
  Anyway some changes from OTA-10 seems to be applied, because I can see design 
changes, copy function in web browser etc.

  It's reproducible on my phone any time I try to upgrade. If I can help
  with output of some log, or anything else, please let me know.
