Ok I did not think of that.

I had 10 millons, strange, but it works thanks a lot.

You should be able to find that easily with Google, as it is a
classic...

Put this in /etc/apt/apt.conf:

APT::Cache-Limit 2000;

That is 20 million.  The number is somewhat arbitrary, but that is
what's in my file.  If you don't have this file, just create it as
root with that single line in it.  'man apt.conf' should also help.
