I had a feeling they didn't keep old versions around, but I was desperate enough to search anyway :) I thought that "apt-get autoclean" will delete everything from /var/cache/apt/archives automagically. I use "apt-get clean" and normally I don't do that too often unless I need more room. > Think about it, if they just kept the current version, and the one before > it, it would double their storage requirements. > > I uploaded the packages to here: > > http://www.op.net/~darxus/libwine_0.0.991114-2_i386.deb > http://www.op.net/~darxus/wine_0.0.991114-2_i386.deb > > Let me know when you're done with them, I'll probably take them down soon. > They took me over quota.
