[solved] problem with post_upgrade and .INSTALL

Pacman upgrade today won't update any packages, downloads each package but has the same warning and error message with each package, not actually installing it, but updating it's database record that it is installed.

warning: warning given when extracting .INSTALL (Write failed)
upgrading package xxxxx                                         [##########] 100%
sh: post_upgrade: command not found
error: command failed to execute correctly

After the packages are already downloaded, manually installing them with pacman -U works.

Now I'm getting no space left on device /tmp.  But everything is all on one partition, cleaning out /tmp may correct it, there is an entry in /etc/fstab for tmpfs.  Do I really need the tmpfs entry?

What takes up the space in /tmp?

Yaourt, most probably. It keeps all temporary files in the case of incomplete builds/installations.

rm -rf /tmp/yaourt-tmp-yourusername/*

would help.

If it's yaourt, you can tell it to build somewhere else, use --tmp commandline switch or edit /etc/yaourtrc, uncomment and change

#TMPDIR="/tmp"

to somewhere else.
