Are you absolutely certain that 2.4 GB is enough room in /usr? Since
you have a 70GB hard drive, why don't you try 6 GB for /usr? You could
also reduce your swap a bit.
I am absolutely sure. I have increased /usr to >30 GB and it says the
same thing. Simply rebooting and trying again and it all works.
Here is what it looks like after it is built.
/dev/sda3 2569552 2113192 325832 87% /usr
