Package: apt-cacher-ng Version: 0.2.2-2 Severity: normal
There does not seem to be an easy way to remove an entire distro from cache. For instance, I no longer need Debian Etch packages to be cached, since all my systems are upgraded to Lenny. However, apt-cacher-ng will not remove a package from cache until it is no longer referenced in a "Packages" file. I tried removing the entire /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/debrep/dists/etch directory, and then ran "perl /usr/lib/apt-cacher-ng/expire-caller.pl", but no packages were expired. I question how apt-cacher-ng will know to expire Etch packages, even after Etch is no longer in oldstable. If I'm missing something, please let me know. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt-cacher-ng depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfuse2 2.7.4-1.1 Filesystem in USErspace library ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime apt-cacher-ng recommends no packages. apt-cacher-ng suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
