I think the thread for LxPrecisePup1509 is actually here:

But as you say, the link here:

Thanks, Sailor

I have posted there and put a link here.
Hopefully peebee can give clarification.

Some versions of /usr/local/petget/pkg_chooser.sh did not collect free disk space info. Fixed by editing that file, by inserting following 3 lines of code at line 2 (after #!/bin/sh):

mf=`free | grep -o 'Mem: .*' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 4 -d ' '`
sm=`expr $mf \/ 1024`
echo "$sm" > /tmp/pup_event_sizefreem

EDIT: Above checks free memory. Commentors below refer to that. To check disk space, first line should be:
mf=`df | grep -m 1 '/dev/' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 4 -d ' '`

G'day Ozsouth,

I put those lines. I suppose the lines somehow 'tricked' by putting values into variables that PPM expected.
The math is not correct though, not consistent even. That is, in fact, I have 8.9GB free space. And after inserting your lines of code, it showed 1256MB and 1263MB (two different numbers at two different PPM execution times). I didn't install anything at both times of executing PPM.

I supposed, your 'workaround' will enable PPM to continue its job.
But does not get to the bottom of the problem, ie. savefolder support.
And when 'savefolder' works, in PPM it should show 8.9GB available (?).

Link below shows screenshots from upupbb, that supports savefolder properly. Free space in PPM is pretty much same as in file manager.

Thanks oz, for showing me your 'trick'..
