Cause: your /boot is full or too small

grub-install: Fehler: »/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi-signed/grubx64.efi.signed« kann nicht nach »/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi« kopiert werden: Auf dem Gerät ist kein Speicherplatz mehr verfügbar.

$ df -h /boot

better keep it no more than 60% full
to make some space you have to uninstall oldest kernel

List installed kernels
# dpkg -l linux-* | grep ^ii

check your current kernel level
# uname -r

Uninstall kernels keeping current one and maybe one level older too
# apt purge linux-image-VERSION-generic linux-modules-VERSION-generic linux-modules-extra-VERSION-generic

with VERSION the kernel versions that you are not currently using (dont remove the one shown by uname -r)

then recheck /boot size

# df -h /boot

then try upgrade
