That's not the important amount free. The command should have been:

	lsblk -f /dev/sda

or in addition,

	df /

What you described in your OP is a typical symptom of lack of adequate freespace
on the / filesystem, not a problem having to do with partitioning. You may be in
need of running

	apt autoremove

and/or

	apt clean

to free the / filesystem of unneeded and obsolete files.
