Howdy,
I'm using Ubuntu since years so I've about 30GB of cached packages because I've limited quota of WiMAX Internet connection so I wonder how can I get rid of old packages without removing the unused packages?
Exmaple: I've the following firefox debs while I just want the recent version only:
firefox_16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb firefox_18.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.3_amd64.deb firefox_21.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.10.2_amd64.deb firefox_24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_amd64.deb
firefox_17.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb firefox_19.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.1_amd64.deb firefox_22.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.10.1_amd64.deb firefox_24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_amd64.deb.ug_
firefox_17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb firefox_19.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.1_amd64.deb firefox_22.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.10.2_amd64.deb
firefox_18.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.1_amd64.deb firefox_19.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.2_amd64.deb firefox_23.0+build2-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_amd64.deb
firefox_18.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.1_amd64.deb firefox_20.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.3_amd64.deb firefox_24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_amd64(0).deb
P.S. I always sync the path of cached packages (/var/cache/apt/archives/) because Ubuntu always delete the old and the unused packages!!!
