Package: pbuilder Version: 0.196 Severity: wishlist Hi!
I always use cowbuilder (but it applies to pbuilder) like this: cowbuilder --update --autocleanaptcache So outdated packages are automatically removed from /var/cache/pbuilder/aptcache But one thing that I see is that the cache also contains the packages that are installed inside the chroot. For example, on today's update: Preparing to replace cpp-4.4 4.4.3-4 (using .../cpp-4.4_4.4.3-5_i386.deb) ... (...) I: new cache content cpp-4.4_4.4.3-5_i386.deb added (...) Del cpp-4.4 4.4.3-4 [3744kB] It updated the cpp package, included the new package on the cache dir and also removed the old cpp package. But, what is the purpose in keeping this new cpp package inside the cache, since it's already installed? Essential packages (all the other ones that are installed on the minimal chroot) should not be kept inside the cache dir (/var/cache/pbuilder/aptcache), so some disk space could be saved. I am asking this because I really don't see any reason to keep these packages cached. Thank you!
