Problem updating 512 MB Raspberry Pi

[lingon]

I have a 512 MB Raspberry Pi that has worked fine for months. For some reason I'm unable to update it. The SD-card seems to be OK because I can write to it.

Code: Select all

Has anyone seen this problem?
How could I get the updates working again?

What do you get, if you run the following commands:

Code: Select all

df -h
df -i
mount

?

This is what I get:

The partitions have free space and free inodes and they are mounted read/write so the filesystems look fine to me.

The partitions have free space and free inodes and they are mounted read/write so the filesystems look fine to me.

I agree - that space, inodes and filesystem look fine.

I guess you have tried this to fix the issue http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=11824, so I does not have any other good suggestions
