The correct command for updating your system's local list of packages is:

sudo apt-get update

And to properly upgrade all packages on the system that need it (The difference between the different APT upgrade commands):

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

(And not ...updates.)

The next thing is this:

sudo apt-get install updates

This means that you want to install a program called updates which does not exist.

And the last thing: If you don't have enough free space available for an update, you have to follow the instruction and delete at least 5MB of your data on your boot partition.
