apt 1.2~exp1 came with the follow NEWS entry:
[ Automatic removal of debs after install ]
After packages are successfully installed by apt(8),
the corresponding .deb package files will be
removed from the /var/cache/apt/archives cache directory.
This can be changed by setting the apt configuration option
"Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to "true". E.g:
# echo 'Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' \
> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs
Please note that the behavior of apt-get is unchanged. The
downloaded debs will be kept in the cache directory after they
are installed. To enable the behavior for other tools, you can set
"APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to false.
If you have disabled this feature you can do manual maintenance with the
`autoclean` and `clean` commands. More automatic maintenance can be
achieved with our cronjob, see `/usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily`for
details, which can e.g. be configured to remove files after a few days
as you seem to prefer here.
As this default behavior is a deliberate choice and there are various
options to change this I am closing this report as not a bug.
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
