apt-cacher-ng will do that, with modification to acng.conf: # Regular expiration algorithm finds package files which are no longer listed # in any index file and removes them of them after a safety period. # This option allows to keep more versions of a package in the cache after # the safety period is over. # # KeepExtraVersions: 0 Cheers, David.
