Setting delete=yes in apt-move.conf will delete old .debs from your mirror (doesn't make much sense on a CDROM though), not from the apt cache. That there are still .debs in that cache is probably due to the fact that there are newer versions on your mirror. BTW, apt-move in potato can't handle multiple package sources. How do you get it to move packages from both Debian and Helix? -- Olaf Meeuwissen Epson Kowa Corporation, Research and Development
