Your Terminal output shows the following issue:

asm/netlogic/xlr/gpio.h'): No space left on device
No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error

So your disk is full. You need to clean it up.

What is the output of these commands?

df -h

ls -lart /boot

Mark Rijckenberg (markrijckenberg) said :

I suggest running this command to clean up the old kernels in your /boot directory:

dpkg -l 'linux-*' | grep -v libc| sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge

Please copy it as 1 single command, or else it will NOT work. The command starts with dpkg and ends with purge.

Then execute this procedure, which should fix any remaining issues:

That's because your harddisk is still full.

Because my kernel removal script did not work on your system.

Try running these commands:

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoclean

Then open Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic.

In Ubuntu Software Center, search for "linux-image" .

Select all the kernels that are older than the one you are currently using.

Uninstall these old kernels.

Then execute this procedure, which should fix any remaining issues:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure

I have NO further suggestions.

If you do not free up disk space (by uninstalling the older Linux kernels), your package manager issues will obviously NOT go away....

This is NOT a package manager issue, but simply a disk space issue.

Did you check out this procedure that I already gave you (see post #6) ?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure#Step_9_Ubuntu_Software_Center_fails_to_open

Step 9 explains how to attempt to fix Ubuntu Software Center....

But you can only attempt to fix the Ubuntu Software Center AFTER you have cleaned up enough disk space.

ok, I think I see what you have to do to recover your system:

open a terminal and issue the following commands:

sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo dpkg -P \
linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-36-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-37-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-39-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-41-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-44-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-45-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-48-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-49-generic-pae

Then please copy/paste the output back into this question document that we can verify the outcome.

Please do the first command (sudo mv...) first.

Then you can do the rest (sudo dpkg ... -generic-pae) at once.

Just a hint:
If you mark the command text with pressed mouse button that it is shown in reverse colour, and then switch to the terminal window and press the middle mouse button, this should paste the selected text into the terminal.

That looks good! Several old and outdated kernel versions have been removed, and that should have freed anough space on the hard disk that the system will be able to operate normally again. Still there is some more work to do to complete the cleanup activities. I guess there is another 1 GB of space occupied by outdated package versions.

Please open a terminal and execute the following commands (one by one):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
dpkg -l | grep linux-headers
dpkg -l | grep linux-image
df -h
df -i

then copy/paste all output into this question document as done before.

I assume that your problem was caused by the full hard disk. It seems that your package management system got out of sync with broken dependencies.

Please try the following command

sudo apt-get install --reinstall -f \
linux-image-3.2.0-55-generic-pae \
linux-image-generic-pae \
linux-image \
linux-headers-3.2.0-53-generic-pae \
linux-headers-generic-pae \
linux-generic-pae

and then
sudo dpkg --audit

and finally copy/paste all output as done before.

As you can see, the error message
 unable to create `(filename)' : No space left on device
pops up again.

This can usually be solved by removing outdated packages.
For a list of candidates please issue the following commands:

df -h
df -i
dpkg -l | grep linux-image
dpkg -l | grep linux-header

Ok, try

sudo dpkg -P \
linux-image-3.2.0-51-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-52-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-53-generic-pae \
linux-image-3.2.0-54-generic-pae

to clean up four obsolete kernel packages, and then please provide the output of

dpkg -l | grep linux-header

for a listing of kernel header packages, to identify the outdated header packages that also can be removed.

Ok, and now another quite long command to remove a dozen old kernel header packages:

sudo dpkg -P \

linux-headers-3.2.0-52-generic-pae \
linux-headers-3.2.0-53 \
linux-headers-3.2.0-53-generic-pae

and finally re-execute

sudo apt-get install --reinstall -f \
linux-image-generic-pae \
linux-image \
linux-headers-3.2.0-55-generic-pae \
linux-headers-3.2.0-55 \

Another process has locked the database for writing and might currently be
modifying it; some of the following problems might be because of that.

It seems that it was possible to bring the package management system back into a consistent state, and normal updates should work again. (It seems that an update in the background was already running during the second attempt of "dpkg --audit", temporarily showing supposed inconsistencies.)

What you should to prevent re-occurrence:
You have to do housekeeping to clean up obsolete kernel packages and kernel headers.
Periodically (about once a month or so) a new kernel release is published for installation. Older versions are not automatically removed, you have to do that manually.

There are several possibilities:
1. sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
2. using package management programs like synaptic and removing these packages
3. using extra packages like ubuntu-tweak
