Public bug reported:
When trying to update the kernel group of packages (i.e. kernel,
headers, etc.) update-manager stops and tells me:
The upgrade needs a total of 263 M free space on disk '/usr'. Please
free at least an additional 88.9 M of disk space on '/usr'. Empty your
trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo
apt-get clean'.
But since we know that the only package that's going to want space in
"/usr" is the kernel-headers and since we know the kernel-headers
package actually wants space in /usr/src, we can determine that update-
manager is incorrectly assuming /usr/src/ is in /usr. /usr/src here has
lots of room for another kernel-headers package:
$ df -h /usr /usr/src
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rootvol-ubuntu_usr
9.9G 9.2G 166M 99% /usr
linux:/usr/src 85G 80G 735M 100% /usr/src
I'm sure if /usr/src had GBs free the complaint would still be the same
since we can see that 735M is well clear of 263M.
Sure enough, I freed space in /usr:
$ df -h /usr /usr/src
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rootvol-ubuntu_usr
9.9G 9.1G 341M 97% /usr
linux:/usr/src 85G 80G 735M 100% /usr/src
and the update proceeded.
So, update manager assuming that /usr/src == /usr is bad and broken.
