adept unable to install linux image

[rattler]

When I run adept updater and click the FETCH LIST OF UPDATES button, within the list of updates, I get the following 3 lines:

linux-image-2.6.15-21-386 not installed install
linux-image-386 Broken (installed) no change
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-21-386 Broken (installed) no change

The problem is that when I click the APPLY UPDATES button, the updater gets to the first line above and dies. It displays an error message that says, "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages."

At that point, the updater stops and nothing gets updated. Up until this point, I had been happily updating whenever I saw the updater icon in the tray and never had any problems.

What can I do about this?

Here's my sources.list:

Re: adept unable to install linux image

It looks like the problem is related to running out of room on my root partition. I've started a new thread that deals strictly with resizing the root partition:
