So how do I uninstall all the old headers etc. so that there *is* space to do things?
Take a look in /var/cache/apt/archives for cached packages to delete to make some space. You may be able to run apt-get autoclean to remove them although with the package manager halfway upset it might complain so you can remove them all safely.
Failing that find something else to delete to make space. Old log files might be a good candidate here or look in /tmp and /var/tmp for things you don't need. The very worst scenario just delete some of the initrds for the old kernels and fix the problems manually once you've got the package manager happy.
