Outside the package arena:

Make sure you've run `apt-get clean` and `apt-get autoclean`.  But
this probably won't help a whole lot.  You could use this command...
`du -cks * |sort -rn |head` ...to find space hogs in any given
directory.  Put a dot in front of the asterisk to find hidden files,
like certain Trash files.
