You should have used the command "apt-get clean" instead of manually
deleting stuffs from the folder.
I don't remember there's some command to fix broken packages, will google
and revert back

I thought your home was taking up space. But looks like you have aseparate
partition for your home. Look into these areas for files taking up spaceand
remove them:
* /var/log/*
* /tmp/*
Good advice.
The OP should also try to put /var, /tmp on separate partitions.
If /var is on a separate fs, you can limit the damage caused by
a bad app thats rapidly filling up /var/log/.
The FreeBSD handbook provides good reading on why/how to
partition:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/configtuning-initial.html
I typically put /, /usr. /tmp, /var, /home, /data on separate partitions.
