I'll admit I was seduced:
autoclean
Like clean, autoclean clears out the local reposi
tory of retrieved package files. The difference is
that it only removes
! package files that can no longer be downloaded, and are
! largely useless.
This allows a cache to be maintained over a long period
without it growing out of control. The configura
tion option APT::Clean-Installed will prevent
installed packages from being erased if it is set
off.
Some of the packages deleted in the session below are current
viable cache members that have no recent substitute.
In particular,
defoma
psfontmgr
abiword
abiword-common
abiword-gtk
grub
were improperly removed from the cache.
