My OVZ VPS had 120MB free (free -mt), but apt-get returned same error. Just wanted to share workaround that was not yet mentioned.

do "top -c" to see the process eating most of the VIRT/RES/SHR (memory), in my case it was mysql. Stop it temporarily.
i did: service mysql stop
then apt-get worked
then started mysql again: service mysql start
