"apt-get clean" and "apt-get autoclean" ,---- | clean clean clears out the local repository of retrieved | package files. It removes everything but the lock | file from /var/cache/apt/archives/ and | /var/cache/apt/archive/partial/. When APT is used | as a dselect(8) method, clean is run automatically. | Those who do not use dselect will likely want to | run apt-get clean from time to time to free up disk | space. | | autoclean | Like clean, autoclean clears out the local reposi | tory of retrieved package files. The difference is | that it only removes package files that can no | longer be downloaded, and are largely useless. This | allows a cache to be maintained over a long period | without it growing out of control. The configura | tion option APT::Clean-Installed will prevent | installed packages from being erased if it is set | off. `---- -- Thomas Weinbrenner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
