To answer Joe (about bleachbit), I did look at its wikipedia page
quickly. My impression is that it focuses on personal space (/home/...)
rather than system space. What was needed here was a huge amount system
space. I seriously doubt that bleachbit would have helped to a serious
degree. It was a *quick* look, and I plan to come back to this, but for
now, we're focused on recovering space where semi-annual upgrades need
the space.
So run bleachbit with gksudo, or whatever equivalent your DE uses. (I
use Xfce which has beesu.) That way, you can clean up parts of your
system that your regular user can't write to. HTH, HAND.
