I know, question concerning the same problem has already been asked, but I address a different issue. Following is the output snippet of fdisk.

akshayj@akshayj-ThinkPad-T450:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xe7ba95a9

Device     Boot     Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *         2048   3074047   3072000   1.5G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2         3074048 478832639 475758592 226.9G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3       947175424 976771071  29595648  14.1G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda4       478834686 947175423 468340738 223.3G  5 Extended
/dev/sda5       478834688 939409407 460574720 219.6G 83 Linux
/dev/sda6       939411456 947175423   7763968   3.7G 82 Linux swap /      Solaris

Partition 4 does not start on physical sector boundary.

Main Issue:-

I know that the solution to the above problem is repartitioning using gparted, but since /dev/sda4 is just a container partition for sda5 and sda6, shouldn't I just ignore it, or will I face issues and should consider repartitioning.

This is typical and most users see this message. You can safely ignore it.

See the answer here Partition does not start on physical sector boundary?
