You have been subscribed to a public bug: I ran a clean install to Ubuntu 12.04 and so far everything has been working well. I especially commend the Ubuntu team for this release.
I only noticed that the size of repository update is now about ~13MB. Normally, it is about this size for the first time you run apt-get update after a clean install and then ~ 23kb - 1300kb for subsequent updates. However now it looks like it gets 13MB and bigger every now and then. Using us.archive.ubuntu.com archive, I see that the Universe Package files are being recreated a couple of times an hour, but contain the same content. The file modification date and expiration date, and in particular, the etag, are changing each time causing apt-get update to reload the Package file again even though it hasn't changed. Launchpad shouldn't recreating the Package files when no changes have been made to the contained packages. #http://askubuntu.com/questions/135818/the-apt-get-update-cache-size-is- too-big ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- apt-get update cache size is too big https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
