It's APT::Cache-Limit (without the final s)

Last dselect update brings me the same problem, and immediatly searched
the list and applied this same solution given by Matthias Szupryczynski,
but solved nothing, until I found the misspelling while reading the
apt-get manpage (you have read it, you don't? ;)

Setting «APT::Cache-Limit 20000000;» in /etc/apt/apt.conf solved the
problem.

The ugly thing is that the wrong syntax is happily accepted without any
warning :(
