No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
In all the error output you provided there's one important part: No space left on device. This indicates that your disk is full. A full disk can lead to packages left in an unconfigured state, resulting in the dependency errors you're seeing.
The only sane thing here is to free up some space. For example, manually remove the initrd image:
sudo rm /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-31-generic
try sudo apt-get -f install again, then purge the package
sudo apt-get -y purge linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic
If you get another No space left on device remove one more initrd.img and try again.
