Re: Feisty Fawn upgrade failure : Microsoft-like behavior

Attempting to upgrade from ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 and I get the following

Not enough free disk space

The upgrade aborts now. Please free at least 489M of disk space on
/usr. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former
installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.

But, this is completely wrong as df /usr reveals:

/dev/sda5 4032092 2982116 845152 78% /

So, 845M of disk space...almost twice the required space.

I would read it as "we need 489MB more free space than the existing
825MB", i.e. you probably need a total of 1.3GB free space.
