Public bug reported: Binary package hint: prevu
I am trying to compile kate from Karmic source using prevu on a Jaunty machine with lots of hard disk space on all partitions. I have confirmed that no partition is even close to maxing out. The highest usage is on my root (/) partition at 59.6% with almost 8 GB free. The build of qt4-x11-4.5.1 proceeds successfully until almost the end when it fails with the message: --- cp: writing `debian/libqt4-qt3support//usr/lib/libQt3Support.so.4.5.1': No space left on device dh_install: command returned error code 256 make: *** [binary-install/libqt4-qt3support] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status2 --- Other relevant information: 1. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 2. apt-cache policy prevu revu: Installed: 1:0.5.2-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:0.5.2-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:0.5.2-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ftp.iinet.net.au jaunty/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3. What you expected to happen I expected the prevu compilation from source to complete as there was no other error before this. 4. What happened instead Compilation/installation aborted with the error message given above. I have two questions: (a) Why does this error occur? (b) How can I work around it? Many thanks. P.S. Perhaps the problem is with an underlying python script or another package but I have encountered the error in prevu. ** Affects: prevu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- prevu error: No space left on device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
