I tried to remove the long time unused packages from apt-cacher archive using find:

1.

$find /var/cache/apt-cacher -atime +5 -type f -name ".*deb*" | wc -l   
8471

2.

$find /var/cache/apt-cacher -atime +9 -type f -name ".*deb*" | wc -l  
2269

3.

$find /var/cache/apt-cacher -atime +10 -type f -name ".*deb*" | wc -l   
0

Can I depend on the Access Time for apt-cacher archive usage? That is, does Access Time change only when package get received by the user?
(we are apt-cacher for more than 6 months).
