Bug Description
Running out of disk space, I started to look into where the big chunks are lost. One of them is:
~/.local/
I have a bunch of files with this sort of file name around:
com (3).ubuntu.
Note the (3) in the name. It seems that if a download is retried for multiple times, the file name is extended with (1), (2) to prevent file name clashes. However, the cleanup mechanism seems not to regard those files any more and over time this keeps on using up more and more "unrecoverable" disk space. If this happens with the document-viewer for 3 times (like in my example), there's some 200MB lost afterwards because the document viewer package is some 80MB in total.
