[ubuntu] 12.04 - Package manager error - ultimate catch22

For a couple days now on every boot I get a red no entry sign in the top right, that is related to my update manager. The whole system became very unstable, with firefox crashing every minute and exteal drivers becoming unable to mount. When clicking the error sign it says

Code:

An error occured, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount >0'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies

So I open the terminal and run

Code:

>sudo apt-get update

which gives a bunch of lines looking like this:

Code:

 Hit http://ftp.hosteurope.de -name of package-

with at the end

Code:

Fetched 2643 B in 5s (476 B/s)                    
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

So obviously I run

Code:

>sudo dpkg --configure -a

which gives a shitload of lines, all looking similar to

Code:

cp: caot create regular file `/tmp/mkinitramfs_ieYWXA//lib64': No space left on device

and ending with

Code:

dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 unable to create `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/tmp.i': No space left on device

So what's my plan? Disk Usage Analyzer says my Total Filesystem has about 1.9GB of free space, yet the terminal can't solve my problem because apparently that's not enough, and I caot run sudo apt get remove to get additional free space. I tried booting in recovery mode but I get similar errors, I tried booting with an older version but the same problem appears.

Also a couple days ago I somehow got a window saying Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS Upgrade Available, I tried to upgrade cause I figured it would atleast give me a stable system (eventhough I would prefer staying on 12.4 because I had terrible experiences with 14.4 on another computer) but it gave me the error message

Code:

Authentication failed

Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server.

I'm completely out of ideas, all suggestions welcome.
