Package: dpkg Version: 1.19.4 Severity: minor How about removing /var/lib/dpkg/available /var/lib/dpkg/available-old or at least zapping them to zero bytes. They haven't been updated in five years, and you could save the user four megabytes.
OK maybe they still update on some people's systems, but not mine. Indeed four megabytes is bigger than the biggest file, $ find /var/lib/dpkg -type f|xargs ls -og|sort -k 3nr,3|sed q -rwxr-xr-x 1 2260721 02-09 06:22 /var/lib/dpkg/info/keyboard-configuration.config of all $ find /var/lib/dpkg -type f|wc -l 5796 files in the entire tree. P.S., remember to remove all the mentions of the "available file" from the man page too.
