I assumed that autoclean removes the packages that are not installed on the current system. I am from arch linux and I was expecting that this clean-installed switch removes .deb files that are not installed on the system, like pacman -Sc in archlinux. But one still one question remains is How did apt-get autoclean remove the vlc related packages .deb files even though they were clearly not partially downloaded files? The bad thing is I don't have any logs to show you. history.log , term.log, aptitude log doesn't show the step about autoclean I did. Maybe someone else should try on their system and report.
