Just create the following and you are set:

 [01:00:32 tmp]$ ls /var/cache/apt/archives -ld
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         8192 May 31 00:38 /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:00:35 tmp]$ ls /var/cache/apt/archives -lR
/var/cache/apt/archives:
total 4
-rw-r-----    1 root     root            0 May 31 00:38 lock
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 May 30 21:38 partial

/var/cache/apt/archives/partial:
total 0
[01:00:38 tmp]$ 

Of course you will need to download again every package that you want to upgrade.
