Answer 1

Looks like you ran out of space on your SD card. You can type

df -h

in a terminal to verify.

Answer 2

To elaborate on the answer from @T.M.: you are using sudo apt-get -f install that means fix a broken installation. You have done an installation before that also terminated with an error. The important message here is:

gzip: stdout: No space left on device

That means what it says: your storage is full. There is no space left to update the initramfs by gzip. Look with: df -h what device has no space Avail and clean it up to get some more space.

Btw.: A default Raspbian installation do not use an init ramdisk. Maybe your special installation eats the storage space?
