Sounds like your HDD (or @ least your partition) is full...clear some space and take another shot

sudo apt-get clean

and delete any unnecessary files

check your synaptic repo: be sure you only use genuine ubuntu repo (no mixed releases, no third party, no ppa)

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f

sudo dpkg --configure -a
