Re: removing file??
You got a conflict.
The problem does not lie in /var/apt/cache but in '/usr/include/codeblocks/Alignment.h'
which was put there by something else than you are now installing.
To resolve the conflict you need to figure out what is the (other) owner of '/usr/include/codeblocks/Alignment.h'. You can then remove that (if you want to) to install the other file.
Sometimes there are stale and unowned files left behind by previous incomplete package removals. These can then usually simply get deleted.
