Package: www.debian.org Severity: important The bullseye release-notes at https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html are misleading about the needed disk space. "apt -o APT::Get::Trivial-Only=true full-upgrade" was saying 649 upgraded, 113 newly installed, 11 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Need to get 455 MB of archives. After this operation, 558 MB of additional disk space will be used. and I had around 650 MB free space, but the upgrade failed due to lack of disk space when processing the new Linux kernel (linux-image-5.10.0-8-amd64_5.10.46-4_amd64.deb). I tried to complete the upgrade after another "apt clean", but this wasn't enough (and increasing the disk space couldn't be done without rebooting). I suspect that some packages like this one need a lot of temporary disk space (could this be related to initrd before compression?). But there is nothing about that in the release notes. And perhaps a warning should have been output by apt.
