To get some idea of what's using your disk space, try something like "du -ks /var/*" or "du --kilobytes --max-depth=1 /var/". You might also like to pipe the output of "du" to "sort -nr". apt-get stores downloaded packages in /var/cache/apt/archives. you can clean these out using "apt-get clean". I don't know whether apt-get will automatically clean out its cached packages when it need the space; perhaps your upgrade simply requires more than 300 MB.
