update needs more space -- how to solve?

hi,

several times a week I run an update on my Fedora 18 box with

# yum update -y; yum clean all; exit

yesterday the update stopped and gave following message:

Code:

Presto reduced the update size by 97% (from 120 M to 4.1 M).
Package(s) data still to download: 39 k

Error Downloading Packages:
  1:libreoffice-langpack-en-3.6.6.2-9.fc18.x86_64: Insufficient space in download directory /var/cache/yum/x86_64/18/updates/packages
    * free  0
    * needed 39 k

I have no limits set to /var/cache/yum/x86_64/18/updates/packages though...
deselecting the libreoffice-langpack-en in Yum Extender and running the update didn't solve the problem because libreoffice-langpack-en is linked as dependency.

# yum clean all gives 'No delta-package files removed by presto'

$ df gave following output (dutch version):

Code:

Bestandssysteem                  1K-blokken Gebruikt Beschikbaar Geb% Aangekoppeld op

/dev/mapper/fedora-media_el.data  35146488 11090328    22264160  34% /media/el.data

so I guess my root directory is quite full, but the extra 39k blocks all? this system is not overly loaded with software and 5GB for root was enough before...

how can I free up space to run updates properly again?

TIA
