They *should* be stored in /var/cache/apt/archive. Try moving apt.conf out of the way, or renaming it so it isn't sourced/consulted when you run apt. Do they now appear in /var/cache/apt/archive, if so then you have a misconfigured apt.conf otherwise the problem is somewhere else. AHHHH, from man apt-get: 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. You are'nt running dselect are you? If none of this helps then I would reinstall "apt" and "apt-utils" -- Chris. ====== Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once etch goes stable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
