This might be awkward if the OP was installing software at the time
and things are in a partially installed state.

Assuming /usr is a separate partition, a short term fix might be to
borrow some space on another partition and move some parts of, say,
/usr/share/doc onto it. For example, here are the biggies on this
system:

15M     /usr/share/doc/sqlite3-doc
30M     /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg
35M     /usr/share/doc/python2.7
41M     /usr/share/doc/python3.5
56M     /usr/share/doc/imagemagick-6-common
73M     /usr/share/doc/debian-handbook
1.3G    /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc

101M    /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/fonts
334M    /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/generic
844M    /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex

Then the software installation can be completed, and a decision made
on a longer term strategy.

Cheers,
David.
