Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
As described in "man apt.conf", I disabled apt's package caches to save some disk space (see [1]).
Most programs get along with that just fine, but it seems that synaptic uses apt's cache files (which really ought to be an internal implementation detail) directly. If they aren't present, synaptic fails to start with
E: Could not open file - open (2: No such file or directory)
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
This is due to RPackageCache:

In Hedley I re-enabled the pkgcache for now. This will add back 13 MB, but will make synaptic and update-manager work for the time being. Keeping open as a wishlist bug for further investigation when we are pressed on space.
