Re: Update failure

On Thu, Oct 18, 2007 at 06:37:14PM -0400, Richard Carter <carter.r.a.l@xxxxxxxxx> was heard to say:
Unpacking replacement linux-image-2.6.18-5-amd64 ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-
image-2.6.18-5-amd64_2.6.18 .dfsg.1-13etch4_amd64.deb

Well, that's your problem there: you're out of space in /lib/modules.
Free up space on your root partition and you should be in much better
shape.
