I found this problem and the most common cause.

The filesystem runs out of inodes even if it has many gigabytes of
spaces left. Check your systems with df -i. If you have plenty of
i-nodes left  then is a apt database corruption. My recent experience
with several systems running 12.04 is this case of running out of
inodes.

Previous versions of the linux-headers-generic package as well as the
linux-images packages never got removed. If it was the last two or three
no problem, but there were almost 20 versions of the kernel and kernel
headers. the linux-headers package has a huge number of files, which
eats up all your i-nodes. With removing all but the last tree kernels
headers (previous linux-headers-generic-3.2.0-?) I went down from 100%
i-nodes used to 45% used.

For example on one PC  I checked my i-nodes count and was a 100% full,
well in practice like 200 free inodes from almost 700.000.

Just removing the previous linux-headers packages does the trick.
Synaptic makes it easier with the GUI + search feature and order
feature.
