apt upgrade
Failed to reload daemon: Refusing to reload, not enough space available on /run/systemd. Currently, 1.9M are free, but a safety buffer of 16.0M is enforced.

Increase /run filesystem space

1) Append to /etc/fstab
 echo "none /run tmpfs defaults,size=256M 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
2) mount /run
3) mount -o remount /run
4) Check /run space: df -h /run

reboot
