Not with Gparted. Gparted moves the data to the new location of the partition. But things can go wrong during the operation (power failure, system crash...) so better keep a backup.
Note : cylinders are deprecated. LBA is used instead.
6.5G /usrWhat about the rest ? How much free space is available ?

Yes, should have included that: :~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 9.1G 7.8G 870M 91% /
the other filesystems are of no interest. I meant the rest of the / filesystem.
No, I had not considered playing with any part of /var. With /var taking less than 1 gb and /var/cache/apt/archives less than 1mb
/var/cache/apt/archives will temporarily grow a lot during the upgrade, as it will contain all the dowloaded *.deb files. When apt-get says "Need to get X MB of archives", it means that these X MB will go into /var/cache/apt/archives.
