Asking to delete downloaded debs
I have two potato systems. On the one I most recently upgraded, running dselect with the apt method, I get asked Do you want to erase the downloaded .deb files (Y/n)? On the other system, I am not asked, but I would like to change that. I have been unable to find what configuration setting affects this. Can anyone point me to the correct place?

I don't know anything about that, Bob, but if one package is not completely installed, that question will not appear. Could that be the case with what you are seeing?

Re: Asking to delete downloaded debs
It appears to be a new feature but I have the same version of both dselect and apt on both systems. I'd like to add this to the older system as well. Everything is completely installed.

I think you do an apt-get clean. Don't know how to automate it; try apt.conf(5). Isn't there a command like 'apt-get autoclean' ? Does that automate it? -- Bart Szyszka [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:4982727 B Grafyx http://www.bgrafyx.com L.J.R. Engineering http://www.ljreng.com PHP Interest Group http://www.gigabee.com/pig/
Re: Asking to delete downloaded debs
Thanks. apt.conf will handle it. On Wed, Oct 13, 1999 at 03:47:33PM -0400, Rob Mahurin wrote: On Tue, Oct 12, 1999 at 06:24:50PM -0700, Bob Nielsen wrote: I have two potato systems.
