Binary Package Cache (srcpkgcache.bin and pkgcache.bin) Please see cache.sgml for a complete description of what this file -is. The cache file is updated whenever the contents of the lists -directory changes. If the cache is erased, corrupted or of a non-matching +is. The cache file is updated whenever the Packages or Release files of the lists +directory or the dpkg status file changes. If the cache is erased, corrupted or of a non-matching version it will be automatically rebuilt by all of the tools that need it. srcpkgcache.bin contains a cache of all of the -package files in the source list. This allows regeneration of the cache +package, release files in the source list. In comparison to pkgcache.bin, it does not include the /var/lib/dpkg/status file. This allows regeneration of the cache when the status files change to use a prebuilt version for greater speed.
