It looks like you ran out of disk space. Free some up and try again. One quick/easy way to free some disk space is to run:
sudo apt clean

If you run:

sudo apt clean

It'll help. If you can give the output of:

uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image

We can reduce used space further

Thanks

Can you help with this problem?
