Hello there,
I have recently installed the latest Debian image in the eMMC Flash memory. Everything works fine, apart from that i cant install any new packages because the system says that there is not enough space for it anymore.
Is this image really supposed to fill all free memory and no new packages can be installed or is there anything i can do about it? Any help would be really aprichiated!

image, there is not a lot of space left. (200 -> 300Mb last i looked.)
So.. remove what you don't need or use a big microSD card.
Regards,

There are a few ways to alleviate the congestion.
1 - remove unwanted packages The X windows stuff takes up a lot of space for example.
2 - move various dirs to a USB drive or SD card. /opt and /var are two good candidates. /usr could be done but that requires some experimentation. If certain libraries are not available at boot time, your could have problems.
3 - create a new filesystem on a SD card and use that for your personal stuff. What I did was to create a new filesystem on a SD card and mounted it as /home. Now I have gobs of space for my stuff. In retrospect, I should have done #2 and #3.

4) search google for "debian clean up /var". For example the apt cache

in /var/cache/apt/archives on one of my servers is using 707MB and
apt-get clean would give you back that space
