/var/log is where applications can store a log file. Presumably apt is trying to write its logfile to /var/log/apt/some_file_name but the directory /var/log/apt/ doesn't exist yet. You would think that the rest of the operation would have worked, just you wouldn't have a log.
Try:
sudo mkdir /var/log/apt
To create the directory. Although you might not want your limited storage space filling up with log files you're never going to read, in which case don't bother and just ignore the errors.
