If you have issues with size on your / partition, the updates will be
the least of your wories. How much space do you have and how much space
do you have left. Do a `df -h` and show us the output please.

Some things you can do (one dioes not exclude the other) is the
following:
1) De-install kernel sources
2) Move directories to the extra partition. Good directories are /srv,
/apt and /usr. Do this by copying them and then do, as root,
something like:
cp -a /srv/ /new/srv/
Then
mv /srv/ /srv_backup/ && ln -s /new/srv /srv
Then test it and if it works go to the next directory. If it doesn't,
rename /srv_backup/ to /srv/

When all works, you can remove the /*_backup/ directories.
