package: apt
version: 0.7.11
severity: minor
I exclude both /var/lib/apt and /var/cache/apt from my backups.
There's no reason to save any of those files, as they can always be
refetched.
However, when I do a restore, I get errors from apt, like this:
E: Lists directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing.
or
E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
Why can't apt-get just recreate those folders, when they don't exist?
