Not enough space using sfos-upgrade. Where are packages stored?

Oh, you’re the author @olf ?

At least my OpenRepos repository hosting sfos-upgrade says so, so I assume I am really me.

• Didn’t sfos-upgrade warn you that your root partition is becoming overly full?

Yes it did. I believe there was something like 750MB free and I thought it was just being more cautious than the settings app that needed 500MB. Never assume - I should know that

@olf

• Do I need to increase the thresholds for providing a notice (currently at 1 GB left), a warning (at 750 MB left) and throwing an error and exiting (currently at 500 MB left)?

Hmm, the 1GB is fine I guess, maybe the warning and error should be earlier.

I consider altering the limits to notice@1G, warn@800M and exit@600M.

But I still wonder a bit why 750M free was not sufficient for you.
If understand correctly, that was because you had the update downloaded by Jolla’s graphical updater, cancelled it and then immediately started sfos-upgrade without rebooting in between, right?

Or maybe for people like me who apparently ignores it use CAPITAL letters

No, I will not shout at people for no wrongdoing.

Well funny thing is: I didn’t reboot the phone but later I checked and Settings/About product reported that 4.4.0.64 was installed.

See SFOS version 4.4.0.58 without upgrade - #22 by olf

I then rebooted and everything still works fine even though the error message during install really looked like something was missing? But there’s 600MB free system space now so it cleaned up on reboot

Run sfos-upgrade --verify to ensure that an upgrade is completely installed.

I’m not used to pkcon or zypper, but is there a command to run to apply any updates that got interrupted without downloading new updates?

I do not know: If you want to know, read Jolla’s version script and trace back further, IIRC to ssu, which is Free Software hosted at GitHub, so you can read its code to see what it does.
