I know, you can always scold me for not enough space. But this is an old box with a small hard disk:
df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7             133M   93M   33M  74% /
tmpfs                 126M     0  126M   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                   10M   60K   10M   1% /dev
tmpfs                 126M     0  126M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1              89M   16M   69M  19% /boot
/dev/hda10            1.4G  1.1G  185M  86% /home
/dev/hda6              89M  4.1M   80M   5% /tmp
/dev/hda8             633M  232M  368M  39% /usr
/dev/hda9             721M  207M  475M  31% /var

With too little space (in '/', '/lib', I guess):

Are you upgrading from sarge to etch?
try cleaning apt cache using apt-get clean if you never did before.
