Looking at your logs, this jumps out:

So doing that would be a good idea. It might also help with this:

Means you have run out of disk space on /boot.

If your /boot is a separate partition, you will have to delete things
from that partition to make more room.

If, as is more likely, /boot is just a directory on a larger partition,
then you can make more room by deleting anything from anywhere off that
partition. well - not anything; obviously dekete only things you can do
without!

When you have made space, try again with -f. With any luck apt-get
should fix everything up for you.
