(And even if it was a bug back in January -- of which I can't remember any -- it seems to have been fixed since then.) > Not sure how it got there. I'd suspect a local script or command on the commandline where quoting went wrong. Or a shell which treats "*" as literal (default setting in bash) if it doesn't match anything, i.e. a simple "touch /var/cache/apt/archives/*" will create that file if and only if /var/cache/apt/archives/ is empty. Hence closing the bug report. > OK I'll remove it. Probably the best.
