Subject: apt wastes diskspace

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.9

I think apt should delete successfully installed packages from the
download cache on the fly, instead of deleting them all at once only
if the install of ALL packages was successfull.

The problem I am experiencing is this: I used dselect to upgrade
packages. apt downloaded 106M of
packages, and managed to upgrade them all, except for 2 packages. One
package fails to install, because there isn't enough
diskspace. Because of this, the download cache, is not cleared. If all 
the successfully installed packages were deleted, there would be
plenty of disk-space for the install...

	thanks,
	Michael Lachmann

I am using Debian 2.1, kernel version 2.2.7
