Package: ia32-apt-get
Version: 22
Severity: wishlist
I sometimes manually save known working copies of deb files from
/var/cache/apt/archives/
when updating Sid. Since switching to the 'ia32-apt-get' system, I
became confused about missing deb files for packages that were
recently installed. Tonight, I finally discovered (by accident) that
'ia32-apt-get' no longer uses '/var/cache/apt/archives' at all, but is
actually using '/var/cache/ia32-apt/archives'! So I had huge number
of packages that would have just been sitting in
'/var/cache/apt/archives' wasting space, while all new packages
were being cached elsewhere.
It would have been nice to have been warned about this in
'README.Debian', on the man pages, etc.
Thanks,
Dave W.
