I don't have any storage left in /dev/sda5 as it shows:

/dev/sda5       9.1G  8.8G     0 100% /

So, I tried apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean to no avail. Then, when I tried apt-get autoremove, I got this error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcurl3 : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.2~beta3) but 1.0.1t-1+deb8u6 is installed

python3-cryptography : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.2~beta3) but 1.0.1t-1+deb8u6 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

So, I did apt-get -f install, but I got errors like this:

The following additional packages will be installed:

The following packages will be upgraded:

1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

After this operation, 427 kB of additional disk space will be used.
E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.

The problem has been so severe that; though I tried to remove any packages or programs to free up some store, it always says:

E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/

Is there any way out of this ? df -h gave me this:

  • You will have to free some space by manually deleting files I think. Is your /home on a separate partition (show us the output of df -h) Is there anything in /var/cache/apt/archives besides partial and the lock? – Zanna Jul 23 '17 at 09:17
  • please don't put that in the comments - it's completely unreadable like that - add it to your question please. While you are [edit]ing your question, please show the output of ls /boot. Bit worried about your dependency issues though... have you recently upgraded or added some third party repositories? – Zanna Jul 23 '17 at 09:20
  • Thanks Zanna, I did. But, forgot which package was it ? Also, there are only partial and lock in /var/cache/apt/archives – Roshan Shrestha Jul 23 '17 at 09:23
  • wow your root partition is really small. If it's an option for you, consider backing up your data and re-partitioning. You might try running du -cha --max-depth=1 / 2>/dev/null | grep -Ee "M|G" to show where the space is being used (add to the question) and possibly you can free a little space by deleting old logs. You can also show cat /etc/apt/sources.list and ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d to see if we can identify repository issues – Zanna Jul 23 '17 at 09:38
  • @Zanna I know that I stuffed a bit when made my root partition small. Unfortunately, I don't have any external data device for now, and I also have to back up loads of data for this to do. Can we do something just for some couple of days ? Is there any solution till me, I will be very grateful. Thanks,. Besides, I don't want to back it up into my Windows partition. This time I want to install only linux. – Roshan Shrestha Jul 23 '17 at 09:51
  • did you try running the du command I mentioned? What was the output? – Zanna Jul 23 '17 at 09:53

    it's all in /usr (installed software) - hardly anything in /var, so really difficult to recommend anything. You can run sudo find /var/log -type f -name "*.gz" and then run the same command again with -delete on the end to remove old logs but this will only clear a few K. Unlikely to be enough even to let apt download packages, but it might be enough to let apt remove packages - if there is anything you don't need like Opera, Chrome etc, try to remove it. – Zanna Jul 23 '17 at 10:01
  • Thanks again, I tried to remove opera, but it is not letting me to remove it. I don't know why ? – Roshan Shrestha Jul 23 '17 at 10:03
  • Let us continue this discussion in chat. – Zanna Jul 23 '17 at 10:04

    Since you have space in your home directory, you can try Rinzwind's solution to the linked post, but instead of making a symlink to /media, use sudo mv -i /var/cache/apt $HOME && sudo ln -s $HOME/apt /var/cache/apt as a temporary solution until you can repartition or reinstall – Zanna Jul 23 '17 at 13:59
