[Bug 617771] Re: package man-db 2.5.7-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault)

[ken78724]

Please advise me: amidst a 10.10 upgrade to 11.04 I received a "Could
not install 'man-db'" after which the install died. subprocess installed
post-installation scripts. PC upgrade and analyzer said "error no space
on device". Is interesting as on same PC with a 500 gig, it said the
17.2 gig set aside for install was insufficient to do operations. So, I
unplugged and tried by plugging in a 40 gig and upgrading to 11.04 to
salvage non-backed up files. On this 2nd HD I get the insufficient space
notice. What am I being told?

truly would like to get faster hardware on this PC to function as I want
to get it running with no fowl ups, preferably to bang out some DVDs and
productions. Help me cut to the chase.
