I wanted to do the same by using the instructions shown in
Move apt cache outside of rootfs to download and update firmware to 3.2010.02-8.203.2.

If you run into a problem while using apt-get you can temporarily (for one command only) have the apt cache outside rootfs to be able to download larger deb files.

Create a download folder on the eMMC to be used for the downloaded packages instead of the default apt archive folder.
Code:
mkdir -p /home/user/MyDocs/apt-archive-cache/archives/partial
Now execute apt-get with the -o option as root:
Code:
apt-get -o dir::cache=/home/user/MyDocs/apt-archive-cache dist-upgrade
The update is 92.7MB, but when I ran the above command, I got this this message at the end of very long list

Need to get 127MB of archives.
After this operation 40.7 MB of additional disk space will be used
Is the 40MB space on rootfs?

If yes? then I will keep losing around xxMB space with future updates hence fill up rootfs space and then I won't be able to upgrade any more?
