Ack here is the problem, you do not have enough free space left on /boot (it might have been choosen to small and there was a time where installer did create it too small IIRC). Remove one of the oldest linux-images packages which you do not require anymore. Then perform again the update. For instance you can purge already linux-image-6.1.0-25-amd64, linux-image-6.1.0-26-amd64, linux-image-6.1.0-27-amd64 and linux-image-6.1.0-28-amd64 (but keep the current kernel yet as fallback).
