How can this be fixed without doing a reinstall? I tried to resize the boot area and GParted will not let me.

I had the same problem. After doing df -h I saw that my /boot was almost full. I went through this guide to uninstall old versions of ubuntu. Now the update works fine. It is a bit odd, because normally I get an error telling me /boot is almost full rather than a non-descriptive failure message.
