/home/var/cache/apt:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1782838 *date* srcpkgcache.bin
Sorry about not getting a screenshot. I haven't the application installed that would take them and I'm not sure if I should be installing anything new right now.

move /var/lib/apt and /var/cache/apt both to /home/user/xxx (like apt-cache and apt-lib)
then symlink them both back in.
That will make sure that all the indexes and caches are stored on the 2GB space and not on root
that saves me 30MB of of root.

P.S. Ctrl+Shift+P will do a screenshot (without any extra software required).Code:ln -s /home/var/cache/apt/archives /var/cache/apt/archives

Just be aware if you make these changes - you will need to do them again after the upgrade - it doesn't honour the symlinks when doing the install - which makes sense I guess.
