Errors after trying to update

[Ali_Rashed]

Hey,

I updated earlier today, and since, I've been receiving a ton of errors. I've been trying to troubleshoot, but nothing I've tried seems to be working.

When I run:
sudo apt-get install -f

This is what it throws back.

Any thoughts on what I could try to fix this? I'm running it on VirtualBox, if that's any help.

Thanks!

Do you have enough space on the vdisk?
Does it always fail in the same place?

Do you have enough space on the vdisk?

I should have enough space. It's have ~50% available to use. And yeah, it consistently fails in that same spot.

[ian-weisser]

Is your vdisk partitioned?
Could one partition be full? Or run out of inodes?

[Ali_Rashed]

It's not partitioned, just one 10 GB drive. There's about 4.2 GB free, that should be enough.

[ian-weisser]

If it's not a space issue, could try deleting the offending package so apt will automatically re-download it.
Deleting this package should not affect your system, since it's not installed.

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.13.0-30-generic_3.13.0-30.55_i386.deb
