Attempts to clear space in /var/cache/apt/archives failed when installing kali-linux-everything
by addysplendor from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53W43)
So to preface this: I know there are other threads on other sites that covered this, however their methods did not work. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1789...e-apt-archives and https://askubuntu.com/questions/1151...e-apt-archives
If there are threads that adequately answer my question on this site, I do apologize.
Have a fairly-new install of Kali linux that has none of the pen testing tools that I would like.
Attempting to install via Sudo apt-get install kali-linux-everything.
However, I receive this message: E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.
I tried to create a new directory as per the above solutions to link to the archives path, as well as autoclean and clean. Even expanded the virtual hard drive allocation to the VM, which--yes--I now know does not affect the size of the /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder.
Not sure how to post images to show the result of a df -H command, but I can provide this image for anyone able and willing to help out.
Would anyone be kind enough to help solve this, or recommend a better alternative, such as an ISO with more pre-installed security tools?
I would prefer to resolve this issue to improve my knowledge with the Kali Linux OS, so if anyone has another solution, it would be appreciated.
