Package: apt Version: 0.5.28.1 Severity: important apt-get autoclean removes valid cache members
Hi, this is actually a replay of archived bug #180395. I have just run apt-get autoclean, which blew away 279 packages (fortunately I had a backup). Of these, most were _NOT_ unavailable, as apt-cache policy [package] reveals. I ran the last autoclean and full dist-upgrade just 4 days ago. Now dist-upgrade wants to upgrade 69 packages, so I would expect not more than 69 packages to be unavailable and therefore valid candidates for removal. I have observed similar behaviour before and since I'm behind a 64 K dialup, my cache is /precious/ to me. Please let me know what I can do to help remedy this!
