I ran fsck -f anyway. There was no lost+found, I think that was removed long ago
because it conflicted with tabcompletion (ls /dist/lo<tab>). Since there was no
space left fsck was unable to create it, I think:
/lost+found not found. Create<y>? yes
ext2fs_new_block: Could not allocate block in ext2 filesystem while trying to create /lost+found directory
Otherwise no errors reported.

Meanwhile I removed some smaller files to gain some space:
