/var/lib/apt/lists/partial fills entire partition
On this jessie box I have started to see /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
gradually filling the entire 2.7 GiB /var partition with hundreds of
smallish files. Google show some results for a similar, but not
identical problem for Ubuntu but I can't find anything matching this.
This problem has developed over the last few days.
A partial directory listing is attached (to circumvent wrapping).
Can anyone suggest a remedy to this problem, please?
