From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/8.0 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Description of problem: $ sudo yum clean all Cleaning up Everything 0 headers removed 0 packages removed 0 metadata files removed 0 cache files removed 0 cache files removed $ du -sch /var/cache/yum/* 14M /var/cache/yum/base 4.9M /var/cache/yum/dag 296M /var/cache/yum/development 116K /var/cache/yum/extras 402M /var/cache/yum/extras-stable 171M /var/cache/yum/extras-testing 32K /var/cache/yum/flash 427M /var/cache/yum/pre-extras 100K /var/cache/yum/updates-released 35M /var/cache/yum/updates-testing 1.4G total This looks to me like 1.4GB (!) of wasted space an my "getting full" hard drive. Everything I want to install with yum has already been installed. Why is yum saving 1.4GB of headers and packages after "yum clean all". This looks like a bug to me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.3.2-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.yum clean all 2. 3. Actual Results: $du -sch /var/cache/yum/* ... 1.4G total Expected Results: remove all headers, packages, metadata, and cached files from /var/cache/yum. Additional info: Say whether or not there is any substantive, valid reason not to simply do "rm -R /var/cache/yum/*".
