Bug Description
My 11 GB Feisty partition became full. I try to release space by clearing package cache.
1) Synaptic doesn't show how much space cache uses. I need to figure it out by manually browsing file system and I need to know some of apt internals for this.
2) Nothing happens when I press "Delete Cached Files"
* Was there any files in cache
* Are they deleted now
0.57.11.1ubuntu12

By default we run a cron job every day that limits the cache to 500 mb. older packages are deleted before new ones.
Some time ago there was a spec for a clean-up-tool. But it was never brought to real life.
You can use Baobab to analyze the disc space.
