[Bug 677019] Re: package backuppc 3.1.0-9ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Hi Kipton, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help
us make Ubuntu better!

This error message, from DpkgTerminalLog.txt, explains the problem quite
well:

 * Starting backuppc...
2010-11-18 08:26:17 Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /var/lib/backuppc/pc and /var/lib/backuppc/cpool.  Either these are different file systems, or this file system doesn't support hardlinks, or these directories don't exist, or there is a permissions problem, or the file system is out of inodes or full.  Use df, df -i, and ls -ld to check each of these possibilities. Quitting...

While your home partition does seem almost full (91%), /, which houses
/var/lib, looks relatively empty.

Can you please post the results of these commands  run in a Terminal:

df -i
ls -ld /var/lib/backuppc
ls -l /var/lib/backuppc
mount

Marking Incomplete pending response from Kipton.
