apt is not aptitude. I've not seen this in apt and I just tested it by firewalling a mirror off and running apt-get update. The lists files are still there. I ran apt-get clean and they are still there. I ran apt-get autoclean too, just to be sure. Files remained. If aptitude behaves differently then it is broken. > can set the flag mentioned upthread if it's a bother for you. I believe said flag controls wether or not apt automatically removes the lists files for repositories that are not actually in your sources.list file anymore. -- "Police noticed some rustling sounds from Linn's bottom area and on closer inspection a roll of cash was found protruding from Linn's anus, the full amount of cash taken in the robbery." - http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/robber-hides-loot-up-his-booty/2008/05/09/1210131248617.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
