Upgrade crashes on kdebase-3.1.2-13 install

[Terry R Linhardt]

Okay, here are some things I observed:

1) I went out to a text console and observed the message: 

"using kdebase-6:3.1.2-13.i386 to satisfy kdebase-6:3.1.2"

(The update crashes with an error while installing kdebase-3.1.2-13).

2) I see the message: isys.py:mount() - going to mount /gmp/hdc on
/mnt/source

(Not sure if this is relevant, but when I do a df -k after the failure
/mnt/source is configured as 661056 blocks, and all of them are used.

3) From the /root/upgrade.log (full text):

=============

Those are the items that seem to possibly relevant.
