Re: Matchbox 0.1.8 error on install/upgrade

I originally thought this was a packaging problem with matchbox. Sorry
about being off topic.

I can agree with too much interaction but I do believe in options

Know what you mean, my /var partition is only a gig and I run out.  What
about something along the lines of this. Make the present method the
default but add:

    Package Manipulation:
      clean      delete packages in cache
    Options:
      -c --clean <all(on exit),none(on exit),success(fully installed)>

With all being the default.
