   You can't install any package unless there is space is /var. So the 
only option is
   to free up space in /var.  There might be some temp files or logs 
that are eating
   up space. Places to look into:

   /var/log
   /var/tmp
   /var/crash

   Not all meetings can be recorded but we will put up the two existing 
meet videos in
   YouTube.
