Public bug reported:

Unity notification "Update Manager" icon -> Show updates -> Install
Updates:

    Not enough free disk space
    The upgrade needs a total of 65,7 M free space on disk '/var/cache'. Please 
free at least an additional 65,7 M of disk space on '/var/cache'. Empty your 
trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get 
clean'.

There is 715 M available on /var/cache :
