pkcon critical error: insuffient space

Hi,
I am trying to download all the packages (via pkcon) in case Jolla servers go down. As I haven't found a way to download literally ALL the available packages, I have been focusing on the most important ones like lipstick-jolla-home-qt5 and sailfish-browser (in case I break them by modifying). I haven't been using the android support at all, but I'd like to have the installation packages in case I need it in the future.

The probelm

[root@Jolla rmp-backup]# pkcon download ./ aliendalvik

returns

Fatal error: Insuffient space in download directory '/var/cache/pk-zypp-cache/packages/aliendalvik'.

I can (edit:) no longer download other RMP packages with this command successfully. What is the problem here?

Edit: It's happening again :( This time downloading any package fails and deleting the cache doesn't help. Output of df -h:

[root@Jolla jolla]# df -h

"Critical error" was "Vakava virhe" in Finnish

What is the output when you do "df -h" ?

Haven't investigated the cause when I hit the same problem, but I had a quick look at pkcon and found a better solution, which works arround that error and does fetch all dependencies also (usable with all packages, aliendalivk just as example here):

pkcon -d install aliendalvik
pkcon download ./ `find /var/cache/zypp/packages -type f | sed -n -r 's,^.*/([[:alnum:]-]+)-[[:print:]]+$,\1,p' | tr '\n' ' '`

Make sure, before running pkcon -d instal XYZ that there are no files left under /var/cache/zypp/packages

Thanks! I rm -rf *'d the cache and copypasted your commands- worked like a charm.

I wonder if it was legally ok to upload all packages to openrepos.

@lakutalo What are you talking about? I am not uploading packages to any service, just downloading them onto my SD card.

I am having this issue again :( This time clearing the cache doesn't do the trick.

jollailija ( 2015-11-26 17:59:35 +0200 )edit

I know, sorry for the confusion. I was thinking one step ahead. One could upload all those packages to a repository so they are available for a wider audience.
