I've read the manual but did not understand Your saying "a cache for
packages from remote sources". If You would, please explain in other
words.

I've checked the dir. w/

ls | grep Source

it returned empty string. Still, after yesterday's update, I see both

pkgcache.bin
srcpkgcache.bin

are updated and almost of the same size: 14553423 and 14503826
respectively.
