Description-en: APT configuration for automatic cache updates
This package contains configuration snippets for the APT
package manager to make it automatically update its package cache.
.
This is useful for systems which do not use a daemon like PackageKit
to trigger cache refreshes at convenient times.
The configuration will not trigger automatic installation of updates,
for this functionality consider using the `unattended-upgrades` utility.
