David, you can only ever have one version (what you call "unique identifier") of a package installed. What you see in /var/cache/apt/archives is just a temporary download place where apt and other package tools download packages to before they get installed. This directory generally has multiple versions of a package (you can use "apt-get autoclean" to get rid of older ones and free some space).
Uninstalling a package with "apt-get remove" does not remove the downloaded .deb package from the cache. -- 7.10: en_CA causes KDE apps to fail to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
