I have honestly searched for this from google and here but found no solution.

my problem is that when trying install/uninstall from app manager it says installation space full. using apt-get has worked but it's pain to lookup all the package names just to install something. any ideas? is my only solution to reflash firmware + user memory?

heres a paste from app manager log:
hildon-application-manager 2.2.65

I had the same problem. I was trying to install Instinctiv from the Ovi store, and so apt-get doesn't help. But basically I'm getting the same error from the HAM's log.

apt-worker: free space (/home/) = 110739456
apt-worker: You don't have enough free space in /home
required disk space: 3709960
result code = 7

I ended up moving away like 300MB and it worked again.

Try
"sudo apt-get clean" and try then do
"df -h"

Check the memory left for rootfs partition.

Also try installing wtever u were doing.
