    Persistence space error

    I've long since given up on trying to dual boot, so I turned to a live boot situation, only to find more ordeals; here's the story this time:

    I have followed the "Official Documentation" on how to live boot a usb.
    I burned an install disc
    I live booted the disc and after that was loaded, I plugged in a 32gb flash drive
    I opened gparted and deleted all data on the flash drive
    I used the command "dd if=/media/"Hard Drive"/Users/mttmm/desktop/Kali.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=512k" from the live boot, that worked fine
    i then used gparted to create an ext4 partition named "persistence"
    i then proceded to add the conf file with these commands
    mkdir /mnt/usb
    mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/usb
    echo "/ union" >> /mnt/usb/persistence.conf
    umount /mnt/usb


    I shutdown, took out the cd, and left the usb in
    when i booted, i hit tab, and typed in "persistence" (no quotes of course)
    the union seemed sucessful, as only "Kali Live" was was mounted and when i opened it, it had persistence.conf inside (indicating union with persistence)
    after that, I tried an apt-get update, it seemed succesful
    I wanted to apply updates, so I punched in "apt-get dist-upgrade"
    it loaded this error:

    After this operation, 927 MB of additional disk space will be used.
    E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.


    it does this anytime I try to install much of anything, i've never noticed if it was the same spot that didn't have enough room.
    I know that i have enough room, i used the rest of a 32gb flash drive as persistence..... I just don't get it

    Any suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated, if anyone has ideas then please respond

    Try this:
    aptitude clean, then aptitude update and then "aptitude safe-ugrade".

    See if it works.
