Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The relevant dpkg terminal log says:

cp: erreur d'écriture dans '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_NDpULm//lib/brltty/brltty.sh': Aucun espace disponible sur le périphérique

translated:

cp: write error in '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_NDpULm//lib/brltty/brltty.sh': no space available on device

So generating the initramfs fails because your root partition is full. Please cleanup your root partition. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.
