Using the mirror package

["Timm Gleason" <timm@n2h2.com>]

I have been using the mirror package for some time now, but I am finding
that recently, it has not been removing the older packages under the potato
distribution. I am now the proud holder of many multiple copies of many
different packages. Is there a way to remove those extraneous packages since
mirror did not seem to affect them.

And yes I have what I believe to be the correct config lines in my mirror
file


        # Don't delete what is mirrored by the other mirror package below
        # NB no / at end of directory names to save directories from
deletion
        # also save private/project directory (which contains Incoming)
        #
        delete_excl=(local|debian-non-US)(/|$)
        #
        # Do not delete if more than 20% of all files would vanish
        do_deletes=true
        max_delete_files=30%
