Package: apt
Version: 0.4.4-1
Severity: important

Hello,
I spotted this bug in aptitude but I belive it is rather apt bug.
If I am wrong please reassing it accordingly.

For some reason directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial has been disappeared.
The reason is irrelevant at this point. Debian claims compliancy with FHS.
FHS 2.3 says[1] that:

   The application must be able to regenerate or restore the data. Unlike
   /var/spool, the cached files can be deleted without data loss.
   [...]
   The application must always be able to recover from manual deletion
   of these files.

It would be nice if apt-related application could recover in cases like
this one.

Best regards
	Artur
