Many thanks for your answer!
I used
apt upgrade or apt install Package
In both cases, the "archives" directory was purged immediately.
To keep the *.deb files permanently, one should probably add something
like NumberName (as 10periodic) in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
With Google, I was unable to find how to define new NumberName files and
to get indications about the syntax. As I could see, this item is
probably under development.
Best regards,
François

Greetings,
After the installation of software or updates, the cache
/var/cache/apt/archives is purged immediately. I tried without success
to get information, which file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d should be
modified or added... Could you please give me a hint, what to do to
keep the files in /var/cache/apt/archives?
Many thanks! Best regards,
François
You did not say how you upgraded or installed software
By default "apt-get" behaves different, than "apt" does, you temporarily
could change the default by adding "-o APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages=1"
or permanently change the behaviour by editing the apt settings. I
don't have at hand how to permanently edit the settings, Google is your
friend.
IOW running
sudo apt full-upgrade -o APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages=1
sudo apt install -o APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages=1 <package>
does the same as
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install <package>
Regards,
Ralf
