There is no built-in way to selectively clear the cache for specific packages by their names (e.g., apt-get clean nano). Users currently have to manually search /var/cache/apt/archives/ using wildcards and rm. It would be very useful to have a native command like apt-get clean <package_name> to remove only the specified downloaded .deb files from the cache.Thank you! --0000000000003abb3c06583308e2 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"auto">Package: apt<div dir=3D"auto">Severity: wishlist</div><di= v dir=3D"auto">Subject: Wishlist: add feature to remove specific packages f= rom cache by nameBody: Hello, Currently, apt-get clean removes everything, = and apt-get autoclean only removes obsolete packages.
