Subject: Wishlist: add feature to remove specific packages from cache by
nameBody: Hello, Currently, apt-get clean removes everything, and apt-get
autoclean only removes obsolete packages. There is no built-in way to
selectively clear the cache for specific packages by their names (e.g.,
apt-get clean nano). Users currently have to manually search
/var/cache/apt/archives/ using wildcards and rm. It would be very useful to
have a native command like apt-get clean <package_name> to remove only the
specified downloaded .deb files from the cache.Thank you!
