Bug#696807: [APT::Clean-Installed "0";] doesn't remove packages from experimental and testing repos when invoking autoclean
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.7
I 'm running debian wheezy testing installed from Debian beta 4 cd.iso.
root@localhost:~# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Clean-Installed "0";
// auto-remove breaks on meta packages
APT::Get::AutomaticRemove "0";
APT::Get::HideAutoRemove "1";
// Recommends are as of now still abused in many packages
APT::Install-Recommends "0";
APT::Install-Suggests "0";
Debug::pkgAutoRemove "0";
Acquire::PDiffs "0";
// Remove apt unauthenticated warnings
APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "0";

But after doing an apt-get autoclean, it left some
packages in the cache(after removing some vlc related .deb files), and I
found that the action was incomplete and it didn't remove the packages
that I
downloaded from the experimental repos and testing.
I still have iceweasel_10.0.11esr-1_amd64.deb from testing repo.
linux-image-3.7-trunk-amd64_3.7.1-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb from experimental repo.
These .deb files are still located in my /var/cache/apt/archives/
These files should have been deleted by the autoclean command.
I reported this in debian-user mailing list and was directed to file a bugreport here.
I can give you more info if you want.
