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.
