Error description

  • DETAIL OF PROBLEM:
    The TPC 4.1.1 installer does not verify that /usr has adequate
    free space for a default root install of TIP.  TIP installs DE
    which requires up to 300mb of free space in /usr when installed
    as root (the only installation method supported by TPC).  With
    inadequate space in /usr, the installer will crash and can leave
    the system in a partially installed/upgraded state that is
    difficult to recover from.
    RECREATE STEPS:
    Install TPC 4.1.1 as an upgrade or as a fresh install with
    inadequate free space in /usr, observe failure.
