broken package Xulrunner-1.9


Hi

i tried to update a couple of days ago, and this update included xulrunner-1.9 however it encontered an error

Code:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xulrunner-1.9_1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3_i386.deb: failed in buffer_write(fd) (10, ret=-1)
i have tried these things to no avail

1. fix broken packages via synaptic
2. after seeing that it was needed for firefox, uninstall and reinstall firefox - now i have no firefox (using epiphany instead now) same error
3. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -f
4.

Code:
sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

i thought other people might have the same problem, but a few searches turn up nothing.

Im running Ubuntu 8.04 with everything else updated and firefox 3 was running fine before hand. i have recently suffered a change in internet connection to a much much slower one, so i thought that this might have caused the package to corrupt, but after several attempts, where i think it has downloaded it again each time i think i can rule this theory out.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Cheers

Did you see the last part of that message?
It appears you are out of disk-space on the partition this is going to be installed to.
