pkgadd: errno 28: No space left on device

Hi,

During package install, am getting:

WARNING: unable to write temp contents file </var/sadm/install/t.contents>
(errno 28: No space left on device)


I tried to delete some stuff under "/var" But I cannot locate who is occupying "/var" space. Because:

Code:
# df -h /var/
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0      5.0G   4.8G   117M    98%    /

AND

Code:
# du -ksh /var/
 426M   /var

Not able to locate who is eating "/var" space.

Please guide.

Bye,
Viki.

UPDATE-RCCONF-GUIDE(8)						 Debian GNU/Linux					    UPDATE-RCCONF-GUIDE(8)

NAME
update-rcconf-guide - Create default guide file for rcconf SYNOPSIS
update-rcconf-guide DESCRIPTION
Update-rcconf-guide creates the default guide file which rcconf uses. Update-rcconf-guide searches the package names corresponding to each service file in /etc/init.d directory from dpkg info files(/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list) and get the description of these packages using apt-cache. Update-rcconf-guide uses Short-Description in priority to the description if service files has Short-Description field. Update-rcconf-guide writes those results to /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default file. You can write your own guide in user guide file(/var/lib/rcconf/guide) by hand. Rcconf refers Guides in /var/lib/rcconf/guide before those in /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default. If you install some packages after executed update-rcconf-guide, you need to re-create this file using update-rcconf-guide so as to refresh guide.default that includes new guides for installed new services. Notice: update-rcconf-guide was not executed when you installed rcconf package. FILE
/var/lib/rcconf/guide.default Guide File update-rcconf-guide generates. /var/lib/rcconf/guide Guide File user(Administrator) can define. SEE ALSO
