2001-04-03 Thread Iwan Mouwen
Hi, is there a way to delete packages from the cache (or from some other directory) for which a newer package exists in that directory. My /var/cache/apt/archives has several versions of lots of packages and I want to remove them. apt-get autoclean doesn't seem to do what I want. Iwan.

Hi, When I remove a package, which contains files also contained in other packages, is it removed? Or, if I remove a file from perl-base, is /usr/bin/perl still there afterwards, because it's contained in the perl package? Do I risk perl and dpkg to be unable to run by removing perl-base? The fo
