I suggest you try and clear some space, like removing old kernels and clearing web cache. You can also install bleachbit and run it as root and user and have as many apps closed as possible. Watch for options which say they will take a long time and watch settings for apps or it may remove settings you want to keep. This will clear a lot of space. I then suggest you run:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo dpkg --configure -a

And it should continue
