Disable automatic removal of debs after install
apt (1.2~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium
[ Automatic removal of debs after install ]
After packages are successfully installed by apt(8),
the corresponding .deb package files will be
removed from the /var/cache/apt/archives cache directory.
This can be changed by setting the apt configuration option
"APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to "true". E.g:
# echo 'APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' \
> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs
Please note that the behavior of apt-get is unchanged. The
downloaded debs will be kept in the cache directory after they
are installed.
Disabling this would be nice for users who use apt
to preseed their
persistent APT cache.
