Changing Apt File Cache Location

How can the default apt file cache location "/var/cache/apt/archives" be moved somewhere else like in /home/user/archives?

You could try addin this line in your apt.conf file:

Dir::Cache "/home/youruser/cache";

The option has to be

Code:

Dir::Cache::pkgcache=/home/user/cache

according to man. Plus I don't have apt.conf.

I made a temporary solution by making a symbolic link of /home/user/cache to /var/cache/apt/archives.
