Yes. Wou were lucky. Sometimes when /boot is full it silently
corrupts the initramfs without any error message. You probably
need to make room in /boot, perhaps by deleting an old unused
kernel.
And that was my 2nd guess, but I have never had a full /boot so I can only
read the place where it errored, which was with the modules unpacking.
you can do a df -h /boot to test. most people put /boot on / if they are
not running raid or LVM or have some other reason to hang it alone. If
/boot is not on it's own partition, look at a full /

What I am reading wrong:
$ df

tmpfs 91848 0 91848 0% /lib/init/rw

everything looks fine, right ?
$ df -h /boot

thx
Wrong!
two things:
One: do this: df -h /
it is just easier to read.
Two: the first line of the report:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Debian-root 264854 255254 0
100% /
Shows you have used 100% of / (root)
the reason that it shows 1K-blocks 264854 but only shows 255254 used and
says it is full is because 5% by default is reserved for user root.
is your /home on / or it's own partition? If it is on /, time to cut
down your collection of what-ever-you-downloaded (just guessing). you
could have a run-a-way log filling up your space.
time to do some detective work and find out what is filling up your / space.
