I have no "libicu48" installed.
Top consumers on rootfs are:
- "microb" with both /usr/lib/microb-engine and /usr/share/microb-engine
- /usr/lib/locale
- /var/lib/dpkg

I cannot "apt-get clean" downloaded package during the upgrade... as they are required for the upgrade itself, which aborts because / is full. By the way, /var/cache/apt is already diverted to /opt/var/cache/apt so it does not impact rootfs.

Please post the output of

Code:

df
mount
free
du -kx / | sort -n | tail -n 20
du -kx /home | sort -n | tail -n 20

to decide where to safely free some space.

Try to disable extras-devel and extras-testing repositories, if used to get some space due to a smaller packages listing.

on this topic, can you safely move (and link) libflashplayer.so and libflashplayer.so.diverted to opt?

Yes, it is. And you only need to link to current library (you also may delete diverted, as you will never go back ? [still having it

])

I tried to disable most package repositories but it only affects APT.

So I diverted dpkg databases temporarily with:

Code:

mv /var/lib/dpkg /home/var-lib-dpkg
ln -s /home/var-lib-dpkg /var/lib/dpkg

After a successful one-pass upgrade to CSSU thumb and reboot, my rootfs has 57 Mb free, so I can move it back to its original position.
Many thanks for your help
