A clean /var/cache/apt looks like this:

cbell@circe:/var/cache/apt$ ls -lh
total 29M
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Apr 19 21:13 apt-file
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  68K May  6 07:50 archives
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  15M May  6 07:50 pkgcache.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  15M May  6 07:50 srcpkgcache.bin
cbell@circe:/var/cache/apt$

You can delete those oddly named ones.  Specifically:

> 22M     pkgcache.bin.nChibf

(Sorry if you get this twice, Lina.  I sent the first reply to you
