Package: apt Version: 0.1.6 I see it as an error, that apt deletes packages after download and installation. I have lost this way about 80 megs of downloads and about 10DM (about 6.5 US-$) money. There are countries, where downloads are very expensive, so it's very annoying, if all you just downloaded is deleted immediatly after installation without any question about it.
This is also very annoying for networked installations. On one machine you upgrade and download all files needed and on the next machine you have to download all once again. This is not only money but also time consuming and very unnesseccary. At least the user should be asked, if files are to be deleted. -- System Information Debian Release: slink Kernel Version: Linux teddy 2.0.34 #1 Thu Sep 10 17:59:05 CEST 1998 i586 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.0.7u-2 The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files) ii libstdc++2.8 2.90.29-0.6 The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version) --- Begin /etc/apt/sources.list (modified conffile) deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free non-US --- End /etc/apt/sources.list
