Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1
Severity: important

Unlike apt-get's

       --list-cleanup
           This option defaults to on, use --no-list-cleanup to turn it off. 
When on apt-get will automatically manage
           the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists to ensure that obsolete files are 
erased. The only reason to turn it off
           is if you frequently change your source list. Configuration Item: 
APT::Get::List-Cleanup.

aptitude has no facility for cleaning up /var/lib/apt/lists/partial.

It will just fill up with diffs until one day the partition is full.

Even setting APT::Get::List-Cleanup=true won't help.

The same for /var/lib/apt/lists/ .

The only cure is to occasionally run an
# apt-get update
