That's what I thought, but after an 'updatedb', 'locate xmms' reports only the one occurance of xmms_1.2.3-helix1_i386.deb and memprof_0.4.0-helix_i386.deb (for example) - in the archives folder. The same as anyone else, I assume; I run it once with the debian mirror info, and then again with the helixcode info. Regards.

Leftover .debs in /var/cache/apt/archives
On a related topic, everything I've installed from potato-proposed-updates is left in /var/cache/apt/archives by apt-move. What do I have to do in apt-move.conf to fix this?

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
Leftover .debs in /var/cache/apt/archives
Can someone assist me please - I have .deb files left over in my archives folder even though I've apt-moved to a local mirrors folder on CDROM, changing myapt-move.conf each time as appropriate. For example, my sources.list contains - deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free deb ftp://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main That's all; I've installed potato, kernel 2.2.17pre6 and X from the debian site, and helix-gnome from helix's site. I did an apt-move for both hierarchies (potato from debian and unstable from helixcode) and each time files were moved. However, I have files left over in the /var/cache/apt/archives folder such as xmms_1.2.3-helix1_i386.deb and rep-gtk_0.14-helix2_i386.deb, even though I've specified delete=yes in apt-move.conf. I'm concerned that in the event of a disaster, these files won't be available. Point me in the right direction please?
