I was going to text my wife, but my n900 says that it can't send or receive anything, since "storage memory" is full!

That alert will now pop up once every minute to annoy me some more. Actually it seems that its rootfs that is full.

Code:
Nokia-N900-42-11:~# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                  233224    232508         0 100% /
ubi0:rootfs             233224    232508         0 100% /
I did update some programs today, and that probably did me in.

EDIT:

Updating via the terminal will fill up the apt cache...

Continued in next post.
