[Bug 75713] does not check diskspace

[Frank H. Ellenberger]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: adept-updater

I installed dapper on a older machine, which has also some other operating systems installed.
So there was a very small boot partition (24MB) and also some old stuff inside. 

When I clicked that little notifier icon also a new kernel was selected.
After downloading all the updates, the program finished with a nothing
saying error message like "changes could not applied" (retranslated).

Later I found out, there are 0 Bytes free diskspace in the /boot
partition.

In grub is an entry for the new kernel, but it can not boot this new kernel (kernel panic).  
So I think, not everything needed could be created when installing.
I deleted some of the old stuff from 2005 and tried a reinstall without success.

To avoid this situation, I think, there should be a check of free
diskspace before unpacking updates.
