On this jessie box I have started to see /var/lib/apt/lists/partial gradually filling the entire 2.7 GiB /var partition with hundreds of smallish files. Google show some results for a similar, but not identical problem for Ubuntu but I can't find anything matching this.
This problem has developed over the last few days. A partial directory listing is attached (to circumvent wrapping). Can anyone suggest a remedy to this problem, please? -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:t...@vanderhoff.org Buckinghamshire, England |
