Package: apt Version: 0.9.7.9+deb7u7 I've ended up examining how much space programs are using in /var, and APT is the top pig, using close to half of /var as /var/lib/apt/lists, one factor does appear to be exasperating this, `dpkg` has 5 foreign architectures.
Trying a few compression methods: 426248 lists 114580 lists.gz 90868 lists.bz2 85648 lists.lzma 86532 lists.xz Nearly all of this space is being used for the Packages files. Merely compressing them would be a rather major improvement. The main Debian testing file is the biggest of these. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | ehem+sig...@m5p.com PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
