Actually, it is better to have autoclean to do this.
As I rethink my script, it works only for me.
I must at least remove "aptitude update" / "aptitude autoclean" from my
previously posted cron script. Otherwise, it will remove package few
days after archive get updated but when you may not have updated your
local system.
(I am on laptop which is normally off. When ever I turn on, I upgrade it.)
