Its strange what an update can do

Thanks for the link … it is a very different scenario as I had

I never heard of such (and doubt) a requirement.

To be honest I though the same … but I had this experience twice … so the classic use of the following commands

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

never clean/remove/delete the old packages. Must be used

sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt clean

But of course, it’s the user’s or admin’s obligation to check the free space on the system disk before any update.

Good point

Best to all

I used Fedora a few years ago and encountered a similar issue. I never did discover the cause, but after a few days of searching for a solution to no avail, I started looking for another distribution, which eventually led me to my current daily driver, Garuda Mokka Linux, but that’s my personal choice - you may find that any of a number of distributions will become your cuppa.

If you can revert to the version that last worked (With Garuda, which defaults to using btrfs, if something breaks, I can roll back to a previous snapshot, then wait a few days before attempting another update) then wait for a few days or until you see something indicating the issue’s resolved on the Fedora forums before attempting another update.

Whatever you ultimately decide to do, I hope my input helps rather than confuse.
