Hi folks,

I encountered problems after running

# portupgrade -aRrvO

At completion following warning popup;
.....
......
Backing up the old version

/var: write failed, filesystem is full

bzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.  Possible
reason follows.
bzip2: No space left on device
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)
** Backup failed.

Reboot PC. Gnome could not be started with a warning
something like server configure error.....

I have no chance to write down the complete warning
because it jumped to another empty window after a
while. Nor I have an editor to copy the warning down.

KDE started properly. Following problems were found.

1)
# /usr/src/etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate updatedb

Rebuilding locate database:
/var: write failed, filesystem is full
cat: stdout: No space left on device

2)
# df

Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used    Avail Capacity

3)
# portsclean -C
portsclean: Command not found

# cd /usr/ports
# make search name=portsclean
No printout

4) On KDE desktop
Konsole window - Font characters being huge
Settings -> Font -> Custom
started 'request font' window. It was possible to
select font.

But
Settings -> Save Settings
seemed having no function. On starting a new Konsole
window fonts were still huge.

That were the mistakes having been discovered. Others
unknown yet.

Kindly advise.
1) How to free space. The HD is of 40 G in size solely
for FreeBSD 5.2
2) Where can I find 'portsclean' package
3) How to discover the cause of failure in starting
Gnome
4) How to set fonts on Konsole window

TIA

B.R.
Stephen Liu
