Hi Steve, I have 65.8 GB free in my /usr partition, so I don't think that's it. I did finally resolve this shortly after by clearing my downloaded version of the update and re-downloading it using "sudo apt-get clear" followed by "sudo apt-get update".

How much space is free on your /usr partition?
