Good afternoon!
Using the book "Linux Basics for Hackers," I have just uploaded Kali Linux on a virtual machine installed on my PC. As I follow along the book, I have attempted to upgrade packages with the apt-get upgrade command. Every time, I get a ton of output, which ends with the following error message:
E: You don’t have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/
Based on Google searching, I have tried to free up space by clearing the package cache, removing unused packages, clearing system logs, all to no avail. The error message persists!
When I visit /var/cache/apt/archives/ and run a long list, I see two items. A file called “lock” (size = 0 bytes, owner = root) and a directory called “partial” (size = 4096 bytes, owner = _apt.)
Are there any suggestions on how I can get more free space? I am not terribly programmer-savvy, so please bare with me here.
Thank you!
John
