Problems with yaourt

Haunter · 2011-06-16 10:47:11

I've been working at this for the last couple of days, trying to install various games on my new arch install that is. I've been primarily using yaourt to do this, but I am having alot of problems. This is one of the errors I'm getting when attempting to install savage2.
Cannot write to “Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-x86_64.bin.part” (No space left on device).
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-x86_64.bin
Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build savage2.
==> Restart building savage2 ? [y/N]
==> --------------------------------
==>
sort: write failed: standard output: No space left on device
sort: write error
comm: write error: No space left on device
==> WARNING: Following packages have not been installed:
savage2

I was also getting a different version of the error, something like "A failure has occured in build() aborting"
The install is on an 320 gig hard-drive, and I recently re-installed arch, so it shouldn't be full.
Here's the output for du -hs /*

Note: Some variation of the first error happens almost every time I attempt to install a file using yaourt.

Yaourt usually loads to /tmp which appears to be rather full. There should be one or more /tmp/yaourt-tmp-XXX folders (whith XXX corresponding to some user name). Remove them and try again.

Or you may want to reboot your system and make sure /tmp is clean afterwards.

Just tried installing a .bin file, it gave me the "No space left on device" error. This was after deleting yaourt's tmp files. I also tried re-installing savage2 afterwards, and it says "Disk full? Continue y/n?"

When you get errors that say your disk is full, it usually means your disk is full. It's really hard to get a false positive on this. As pointed out by bernarcher, your /tmp is unusually large.

If /tmp is on / partition I can see you run out of disk space. You can test this conjecture by running df -h when prompted with "Disk full? Continue y/n?"

Anyways, judging by your comments it seems you want to use /media/poop for yaourt's temp files. You can either mount some directory under /media/poop over /tmp and use that system wide or change the tempdir option in yaourtrc.
