Not to be quippy, but did you even bother to search the mailing list archives?
I ask becuase this issue is brought up probably once a month, and a 10 second
search would reveal the answer.
Anyhow, simply add the following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf (create the file if
it does not already exist):
APT::Cache-Limit 10000000;
