Title:
  click packages fail with mysterious error when disk is full

Status in “click” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Sometimes I get the following error when trying to manually install a click package. Package works fine in other systems
                                pkcon install-local com.canonical.scopes.etsy_1.0.10_armhf.click mhf.click

  Fatal error: /home/phablet/clicks/com.canonical.scopes.etsy_1.0.10_armhf.click failed to install.
  Traceback (most recent call last):

      raise child_exception_type(err_msg)
  subprocess.SubprocessError: Exception occurred in preexec_fn.

  This appears to be because the disk is full. As well as making this
  error cleaner and clearer, some general testing should be done around
  what happens when we try to install click apps when the disk is full.
