So I'm installing ROS on a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian, and I'm generally following the debian installation procedure. When I got to step 1.3.2 and tried to run rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=fuerte&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no" everything installs fine except for the visualization_common, gazebo and vcstools packages. I get hit with the following error:

[visualization_common] Installing https://code.ros.org/svn/release/download/stacks/visualization_common/visualization_common-1.8.4/visualization_common-1.8.4.tar.bz2 (version visualization_common-1.8.4) to /home/pi/ros/visualization_common ERROR [vcstools] Tarball download unpack failed: [Errno 28] No space left on device[/vcstools]

After swapping a 4GB SD card for a 16GB SD card, here's the current state of my system (and I'm still getting these "No space left on device" errors!).

pi@raspberrypi:~$ df -h

/dev/mmcblk0p1      0      0      0     - /boot

So, any ideas why ROS might think I have no space left?

Turns out, a simple Raspberry Pi firmware update fixed everything: https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/

Always remember to update your firmware, kids!

Can you try creating large files or otherwise unpacking that tarball manually and making sure that works without getting that type of error from your filesystem?

After a quick look at the vcstools code, that error looks like it's a Python exception. This StackOverflow looks very relevant.

I looked at that, and started going down that path, then remembered to update my firmware =p
