Seems pretty obvious, you're /var file system if either too small, or totally overloaded. Something tried to use /var for storage of temporary data and couldn't put it there. Delete old logs you don't need, and if /var is not atleast 256MB, consider moving it to another disk or reinstalling with a larger /var.
