check - Check the cache a bit
The reason for this is that I was (with apt 0.5.0) getting:
~$ sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade

E: I wasn't able to locate file for the opera package. This might mean you
need to manually fix this package. (due to missing arch)
(dpkg -s showed no opera packages, but:
/var/cache/apt$ apt-cache showpkg opera
