Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error caused by a shortage of space on your hard drive. Please insure adequate space is free, then execute the following commands, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal ( Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) :

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue. If it does not, please set the bug's status to New. Thanks in advance!
