[Bug 613174] Re: do-release-upgrade seems not to check if there is enough HD space for the upgrade

[Brian Murray]

There is  space check in DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py however it is
rather complicated estimating the amount of space packages will take
after they are installed so it may have gone awry.

It'd be useful to see the log files from your upgrade, which you can
find in /var/log/dist-upgrade as the calculation is also dependent on
how you've structured your file system and partitions.

Title:
  do-release-upgrade seems not to check if there is enough HD space for
  the upgrade

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager-core

  on upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 on a small system (8 GB HD, ~1GB free)
  the remaining space on the HD dropped to 48MB. Downloads occur before
  deletes :-)). I would have expected a warning before the downloads
  begin.
