Ah, /var/lib/apt/ I didn't know about that one. Thank you very much!
It worked perfectly and will save me a great deal of bandwidth with new
installs and upgrades later on.
I have to use my smart phone to connect to the Internet on our PCs, and
the cell phone contract I have only provides so many GBs per month,
without charging me more. So, every 100MB I can save myself from having
to download (or re-download in this case) is worth the extra effort.
Thanks again!
