  /var likely needs more space if you are running into
update problems.

  if you have a lot of packages in /var/cache/apt/archives
then you can clean them out and then apt-get will download
any new ones you need when you install, update or reinstall.

  with a slow connection it is a pain in the butt to get
rid of these because sometimes you do want them back.  i
make a backup of these *.deb files on an external USB
device so that if i do need some back i can get them without
having to redownload them.

  the other thing to look at is the output of:

% df -i

  to make sure your inodes aren't running out.
