It is all Debian and the current install try apt-get autoclean and if that is not enough, try apt-get clean. autoclean just removes obsolete .debs, clean removes all .debs from /var/cache/apt/archives if you still don't have enough space, and don't have another partition with more free space then /var to symlink /var/cache/apt to then i think i'd have to say your screwed here. get a CD find an NFS mount or get another disk.
