No.
13G total
- where I find that /usr/lib and /usr/share take up the most. I don't
think you really want to read the whole list for these folders. Thus here
are the items that take up the most space. Most look pretty innocuous:
1.6G /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
but in /usr/lib at the end I get
5.3G total
- but nothing else is more than a few kb or mb. The same thing happens
when I look in /usr/share; the biggest item is:
1.9G /usr/share/doc
- and nothing else takes up more than a few kb or mb, yet at the end I
get: 6.1G total
1-Have you ever manually added content to, or removed content from, /usr/
(other than /usr/local/), including with a backup/restore program (not
package any manager)?
2-Is your / filesystem type BTRFS?
No, but I was trying to format a flash drive,
and that somehow started coming
up afterwards. However, the flash drive in question is not connected, and I
intend to format it as FAT-32, so I can use it on other systems.
3-How many installed kernels and initrds do you have?
2 each:
initrd.img 27.5 mb
initrd.img.old 26.4 mb
vmlinuz 2.9 mb
vmlinuz.old 2.7 mb
4-Do you have many optional font packages installed?
I do have lots of fonts installed, practically everything available. But I've
always done that (since 2006 when I started running Linux), because I work
with text and layout.
5-Asking on debian-user list may draw a more helpful response.
If answer to 1 is yes, suspect possible broken hard links.
Even though we both use 18G / filesystems, mine has only 444M in /usr/lib/
and 1.3G in /usr/share/. I have 5 installed kernels, and EXT4 /.

About a month ago, I had something like 2.2 gb free in my / (sda1) partition;
then it went down to 1.5, then to 1 gb, then to 800 mb, 600, 400, 200, and
now I am at about 165 mb, and sometimes it goes down to 0. In all this time,
I haven't installed anything new, or done anything different.
