Package: apt Version: 1.7.0~alpha2 File: /usr/bin/apt-get People using a shared between e.g., amd64 and i386 architectures should set APT::Get::List-Cleanup false; But it turns out this has the ugly side effect of also not cleaning up # ls /var/lib/apt/lists/partial which gets filled with junk forever and should have a separate option. Else the disk will eventually be unusable.
