[Bug 1786484] Re: free space need for /usr could be negative which is wrong

[Brian Murray]

Looking at the code it seems pretty obvious that we shouldn't use a
negative number for the space needed in /usr.

** Summary changed:

- Updater doesn't check size of partitions.
+ free space need for /usr could be negative which is wrong

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => In Progress

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
     Assignee: (unassigned) => Brian Murray (brian-murray)

Title:
  free space need for /usr could be negative which is wrong

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In my case I ran out of diskspace in /usr which required a temporary 4
  GB of more data during upgrade. Things just start to fail, and I can
  tell you - then you are screwed. I find this unacceptable for a wide-
  spread official LTS upgrader.
