'yum clean all' doesn't delete /var/cache/yum/.../<inactive repository>
Issue
- Why
yum clean all
oryum clean cache
is not cleaning all files in /var/cache/yum- after adding new channels and retiring previous ones
- when having disabled repositories
/var/cache/yum
not empty after runningclean all
orclean cache
withyum
- Why do I have to manually clean
/var/cache/yum
? - Why is
yum clean all
not deleting cache files from disabled repositories ?
