If this is the expected behaviour: samwise:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -l konqueror ii konqueror 2.1.1-0.potato3 KDE's advanced File Manager, Web Browser and Document Viewer samwise:/var/cache/apt/archives# ls konqueror* konqueror_2.1.0.1-0.potato4_i386.deb konqueror_2.1.1-0.potato1_i386.deb konqueror_2.1.1-0.potato3_i386.deb samwise:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get -s autoclean | grep konqueror Del konqueror 2.1.0.1-0.potato4 [1197kB] Del konqueror 2.1.1-0.potato1 [1200kB] Del konqueror 2.1.1-0.potato3 [1200kB] then I'm sure my understanding of autoclean is wrong.
