Description Angelo Naselli 2011-05-19 13:24:00 CEST 
I wanted to upgrade from Mandriva 2010.2 installed on my netbook, i have two 
scenarious:
- from SSD (about 6GB)
- from externa USB disk (about 40Gb) with default partition installation (/ about 8GB)

Since we're in rc, i chose second one for the moment.

Upgrade failed because of disk space. 
Message reports required 1319MB and have 746MB.

I believe that is a big problem for those who chose default partition mandriva 
installation and add a lot of programs.

i had a vbox install of mandriva 2010.1 which i had upgraded with alpha; which had some issues.

i had cloned it and retried installation with beta2 and i was too short on disk space too (similar values even) vbox install by default disk of 8GB, i guess the beta had alot more updates than the alpha...

How did you performed the upgrade? Through urpmi or through the installer?

Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2012-01-06 16:59:37 CET 
OK, I just found a bug in the way urpmi was checking available space
(bug introduced two years ago...)

I'll release a new urpmi soon, then rebuild the Cauldron's installer with it
