[Bug 565229] Re: /etc/cron.daily/apt assumes that CacheArchive inside CacheDir

[Torsten Spindler]

The code for the cron job has changed since the bug was reported:

    Cache="/var/cache/apt/archives/"
    eval $(apt-config shell Cache Dir::Cache::archives/d)

Does this allow for the intended behaviour of having a CacheArchive
outside of CacheDir?

Title:
  /etc/cron.daily/apt assumes that CacheArchive inside CacheDir

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  cron apt script assumes that CacheArchive directory is inside CacheDir. However, apt allows configuration when CacheArchive is outside CacheDir (for example, I use it because of space shortage in /var).
  Some changes to /etc/cron.daily/apt like this would be useful...
