[Bug 1011662] [NEW] space requirement for /tmp may be insufficient

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

I seem to recall some distribution upgrades failing if /tmp is a
separate partition due to a lack of free space in /tmp.  Perhaps
increasing the fudge factor from 5 would be a good idea.

from DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:

        # sum up space requirements
        for (dir, size) in [(archivedir, self.required_download),
                            # plus 50M safety buffer in /usr
                            ("/usr", self.additional_required_space),
                            ("/usr", 50*1024*1024), 
                            ("/boot", space_in_boot),* 
                            ("/tmp", 5*1024*1024),   # /tmp for dkms LP: #427035 
                            ("/", 10*1024*1024),     # small safety buffer /
                            (aufs_rw_dir, required_for_aufs),
                            # if snapshots are in use
                            ("/usr", required_for_snapshots),
                           ]:
