the 60k is: voodoo@hestia:/var/cache/apt$ ls -lh ./* total 4.0K -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 29 2013 lock drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 18 20:28 partial voodoo@hestia:/var/cache/apt$ ls -lh ./*/* -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 29 2013 ./archives/lock ./archives/partial: total 0 so on tmpfs mount it would be easy to create..
