Help on 'clean'                                                 Feta 1.4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When APT downloads packages, it saves them to /var/cache/apt/archives.
Generally, if you use a front end like dselect, it will delete them
when they are installed. However, sometimes you may wish to delete them
yourself (for example, if you have used APT a lot recently without
a front end). In that case, you should use the 'clean' command to
delete them.

Without any parameters, 'clean' will delete packages that are obsolete -
that is, new versions are available, or the package is no longer in your
APT package list. With the 'all' parameter, it will delete all the packages
in /var/cache/apt/archives.

EXAMPLES
--------
To remove all packages in /var/cache/apt/archives:
 # feta clean all

To remove only obsolete packages:
 # feta clean

OTHER REFERENCES
----------------
Feta runs 'apt-get clean' for 'clean all' and 'apt-get autoclean' for the
normal 'clean' command. More information about these two commands is
available in apt-get(8).
