You can get around it for now by cleaning up old logs, but a 20MB /var won't hold you for long no matter what. I have a 500MB /var on this pure workstation and I've used up 130MB already. I see your disk is very small. Symlinking it to /usr/var is probably the least of all the evils you have to choose from.
