I run apt-get upgrade and get

Preconfiguring packages ...

Preparing to replace apt 0.7.25.3ubuntu9 (using .../apt_0.7.25.3ubuntu9.1_i386.deb) ...

I have 10.04 server installed and df -h returns:

Not sure what happened but every thing deteriorated very quickly. I started getting device full errors everywhere. Maybe my harddrive crashed (i'm using a different one now) but I did a complete reinstall. Thankfully I had backups!
