I 'm running debian wheezy testing installed from Debian beta 4 cd.iso. root@localhost:~# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf APT::Clean-Installed "0"; // auto-remove breaks on meta packages APT::Get::AutomaticRemove "0"; APT::Get::HideAutoRemove "1"; // Recommends are as of now still abused in many packages APT::Install-Recommends "0"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; Debug::pkgAutoRemove "0"; Acquire::PDiffs "0"; // Remove apt unauthenticated warnings APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "0"; root@localhost:~# root@localhost:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ testing main non-free root@localhost:~# root@localhost:~#uname -a Linux localhost 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux But after doing an apt-get autoclean, it left some packages in the cache(after removing some vlc related .deb files), and I found that the action was incomplete and it didn't remove the packages that I downloaded from the experimental repos and testing. I still have iceweasel_10.0.11esr-1_amd64. deb from testing repo. linux-image-3.7-trunk-amd64_3.7.1-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb from experimental repo. These .deb files are still located in my /var/cache/apt/archives/ These files should have been deleted by the autoclean command. I reported this in debian-user mailing list and was directed to file a bugreport here. I can give you more info if you want.
