Hi,

I'm getting the error-

E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.

when trying to install packages with apt-get using the pre-built template debian-4.0-i386-minimal.tar.gz from the website. From what I can tell I have enough disk space-

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
simfs 3848576 194816 3653760 6% /
tmpfs 256752 0 256752 0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs 256752 0 256752 0% /dev/shm

Does anyone know how to remedy this?

I guess there is something interesting in dmesg and /var/log/messages on HN and in VE. Can you post this information here, please.

Thanks,
Vasily.

Is user disk quota enabled in VE?
Are there failcounters in /proc/user_beancounters after unsuccessfull run of apt-get?
Can you give an access to the node?

Thanks,
Vasily.
