Hi Daniel, Some checks on listing updates and also getting changelog messages are made by analyzing info from the already downloaded packages. That's the way apticron works. Sorry but I can't change this for now. Giving an option to call a cleanup after downloading them would help you there? Could you use a cron script for this?
BTW, taking a look at this post made me feel your apt.conf setup can also be a problem for you: http://svana.org/sjh/diary/2008/04/23 cheers, On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 12:29:14PM -0500, Daniel Dickinson wrote: > Package: apticron > Version: 1.1.25 > Severity: normal > > > I have > > Dir::Cache::archive ""; > > in my apt.conf, but apticron still downloads archives into > /var/cache/apt/archives.
