And how much in rootfs, which is the most likely issue? To find out, run "df -h /" in X Terminal. Then look for the threads/wiki pages about freeing up rootfs space.

This should work - you'll need to have rootsh installed though:
Code:
sudo gainroot
rm /var/cache/apt/archive/*.zip

try:
cd /var/cache/apt/archive/
rm filename

Try rebooting - if the file's being held open by something then the space won't get freed up.

Okay, what's the output of the following?
Code:
sudo gainroot
df -h /
du -hsx /
