Title:
  Xubuntu 9.10 ran out of disk space while installing OpenOffice.org

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  Xubuntu failed while installing OOo???  Why is Xubuntu even trying to
  install OOo?  This may be related to bug #312491, but that doesn't
  explain why there was a failure installing something that isn't
  supposed to be installed in the first place.

  If this is related to bug #312491, note that I had 2.5GiB
  unpartitioned space (which is why I was using Xubuntu).  The Get
  Xubuntu page (http://xubuntu.org/get) indicates only 2GB of free space
  is required on the hard disk.  I do not yet know the state of the
  installation (since I'm still running off of the live CD), but using
  GParted to look at how things ended up, I see that installation
  created a 2.34GiB ext4 partition and a 172.54MiB swap partition.  The
  ext4 partition shows 2.32GiB used--more than the total space
  supposedly required to install Xubuntu in the first place.

  This is my third report relating to this installation:  see bug
  #291287 comment #10, and bug #494628.  I have three more "problem"
  dialogues displayed at the moment, but this will be the last bug I
  submit for now--I suspect all these errors are due to the same root
  cause.  Anyway, the other three state the following:

  1) Sorry, the package "openoffice.org-draw 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1" failed to install or upgrade.
  2) Sorry, the package "openoffice.org-writer 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1" failed to install or upgrade.
  3) Sorry, the program "devkit-disks-daemon" closed unexpectedly
