Thunderbird update not installing

Postby lordshipmayhem » Jul 10th, '17, 21:19

The latest version of Thunderbird is not installing. It comes back saying
1 installation transactions failed

There was a problem during the installation:

installing package thunderbird-0:52.2.1-1.mga5.x86_64 needs 118MB on the / filesystem

installing package thunderbird-en_GB-52.2.1-1.mga5.noarch needs 102MB on the / filesystem


This is the first time I've ever experienced an issue updating Thunderbird, the last one worked fine.
Mageia version 5 on an AMD-64
