cache contents

[Olaf Olson]

I was just reading the man page for yum and found that yum clean 
packages will clean out the leftovers in the cache. You can also use it 
to clean the header files, but this would mean you'd have to re-download 
the headers, next time you do an update.

I'd guess that apt has a similar setup.
