Thanks for everybody's patience. Even though I haven't yet resolved the issue, I did pick up a lot of useful tips and commands, etc. Right now I want to find a partition manager that I already have on CD somewhere, or try to burn a new one. (It seems that k3b is failing to burn discs. I might try burning a disc by command-line.) First I want to resize my root partition, then make the switch to Devuan; although I might reinstall Debian first, for sake of continuity. By the way, now kmail crashes whenever I try to use keyboard shortcuts to reply to emails. I have to choose reply from the menu instead. On reboot, some space is reclaimed: free space moved back up to 140+ mb; and now I am at 123 mb. The general tendency, however, is a steady and incremental loss of space. I suppose that I can still try to resolve this issue after reinstallation.
