Trusting that repository normalcy is restored, I ran apt-cacher-ng and
deleted 34 cached {Packages,Sources}{,.bz2} files that have no copy
in the repository, whereupon I could purge all my expired packages again.
It's a shame that apt-cacher-ng doesn't appear able to delete those
files when it has successfully downloaded their {.gz,.xz} equivalents
(even when it has both gz/xz).
It's also odd that, even after forcing a download of all the packages
files in full, it still hangs on to quite a collection of stale
package-diff files. I think I have to manually delete these.
Mustn't knock it though; in all other respects it does a great job.
Cheers,
David.
