the git-core package is bugging me for years with this behaviour. even with 1GB of free space the install is not going through, which is kind of idiotic.

Please could you try installing the git-core using rpm command with verbose option.
"rpm -ivvh". We will see if that can give some hints here.
In our case it was showing that it needs around 40MB of free space.

Please could you try installing the git-core using rpm command with verbose option.
"rpm -ivvh". We will see if that can give some hints here.
In our case it was showing that it needs around 40MB of free space.

From the debug output it seems it is reporting the correct available space.

Preparing... D: computing file dispositions
D: 0x000a0009 4096 263317 240351 /opt

ie 263317 available blocks.
Will check in which condition it might be failing in this case.

Please could you try installing the git-core using rpm command with verbose option.
"rpm -ivvh". We will see if that can give some hints here.
In our case it was showing that it needs around 40MB of free space.

Are you seeing this issue on all systems or on a specific system?
Could it be some other issue related to system.
