The only cache cleaning that I know of is in base-config: if which tasksel >/dev/null 2>&1; then if [ "$1" = new ]; then tasksel_param="--new-install" fi if ! tasksel -ris $tasksel_param; then $0 failure exit 1 fi fi if [ "$KEEP_BASE_DEBS" != yes ]; then apt-get -f clean || true fi I don't see how this could cause the cache to be cleaned if the tasksel run failed. -- see shy jo
