Bug how to install new packages when / partition space is full

during installation i created four partitions mainly

/ 5GB
/home 1GB
/boot 100MB
swap 2GB

now since i didnt make the /usr partition all of the packages were being installed in the / partition ..now all the space in the / partition is filled ...i ran du -h ..i could see that / partition had been filled till 100% capacity ., is there a way where i can install new packages in my system ...even though i explored the possibility of creating another partition and renaming it as /usr and permanently mounting it under fstab.

NAME
systemd-gpt-auto-generator - Generator for automatically discovering and mounting /home as well as discovering and enabling swap partitions, based on GPT partition type GUIDs. SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-gpt-auto-generator DESCRIPTION
systemd-gpt-auto-generator is a generator that automatically discovers /home and swap partitions and creates mount and swap units for them, based on the the partition type GUIDs of GUID partition tables (GPT). Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-GPT systems, on systems where the units are explicitly configured (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the mount point is non-empty. This generator will only look for partitions on the same physical disk the root file system is stored on. This generator has no effect on systems where the root file system is distributed on multiple disks, for example via btrfs RAID. This generator is useful for centralizing file system configuration in the partition table and making manual configuration in /etc/fstab or suchlike unnecessary. This generator looks for swap partitions using GPT type 0657fd6d-a4ab-43c4-84e50933c84b4f4f. It looks for /home partitions using GPT type 933ac7e1-2eb4-4f13-b8440e14e2aef915. systemd-gpt-auto-generator implements the generator specification[1]. SEE ALSO
