Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-2
Severity: normal
I've been using aptitude for a while, but recently my disc filled up
because the /var/cache/apt/archives were never being flushed of old
packages, despite the manpage apparently saying that was the default.
I fixed it readily with apt-get autoclean, but 'autoclean' seems like
something which should be run by something automatically?
Is this something aptitude should be doing?
Thanks.

The default value of Aptitude::Autoclean-On-Update is "false". Change
to "true" if you want archives cleaned regularily.

No reply received in five years. I can not find any mention in the
current manpage either. Closing.
