This morning, I tried to update my Python packages with the command:

pip3 list -o –format columns| cut -d‘ ‚ -f1|xargs -n1 pip install -U

but I could not update the module torch.

Here are the messages:

The solution was to create a new folder on the /home/sven because I have enough disk space:

df -h /

Dateisystem Größe Benutzt Verf. Verw% Eingehängt auf
/dev/sda3 930G 480G 451G 52% /

I can still use 48 % of my disk space.

I created a new temp folder on my hard disk in /home/sven

mkdir /home/sven/pip_temp

and told pip that it should use this:

TMPDIR=/home/sven/pip_temp pip3 install torch -U

After download and the installation of modules, pip has deleted all cached files. Now the folder pip_temp is empty.

In order to delete the cache of pip3 you can use this command:

pip3 cache purge

sven@fedora:~$ pip3 cache purge
