I think your partition sda2 only has about 1/2 GiB free space. If that 
is the partition for "/", then you should try to move some files to 
another partition. Or you could try to make some space by removing old 
kernels and also run the command "sudo apt-get clean" in a terminal 
(konsole).

The partition for "/" is used during the upgrade to download the new 
packages, and that needs a lot of free space. Actually the packages are 
downloaded to "/var/cache/apt/archives", so if you make that directory a 
symbolic link to a directory on another partition with sufficient space, 
it could also work.
