http://ubuntuforums.org – hi, how can i "MOVE" old packaged (.deb) from /var/cache/apt/archives to another folder? (maybe /home/user/old-packs) there is a command to totally remove them: Code: sudo apt-get autoclean apt-get autoclean: To remove all stored archives in your cache for packages that can not be downloaded anymore (thus packages that are no longer in the repository or that have a newer version in the repository). however i want to "move" them the output of auto clean is Code: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree      Reading state informat (Hardware)
