I'm experiencing some strange behavior running du -h in /var/cache/apt.
It states that the there is 18MB used, but I can not find any files(or directories) that take up that much space. Here is what I mean:

Code:

Nokia-N810-43-7:/var/cache/apt# ls -lah
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root            0 Feb  8 11:54 .
drwxr-xr-x    5 root     root            0 Dec  4  2008 ..
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root            0 Feb  8 11:54 archives
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         2.5M Feb  8 11:54 pkgcache.bin
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         2.5M Feb  8 11:26 srcpkgcache.bin
Nokia-N810-43-7:/var/cache/apt# du -h | sort -n -k1
0       ./archives
0       ./archives/partial
18.5M   .
Nokia-N810-43-7:/var/cache/apt#

According to this, there seems to be some 13MB unaccounted for. Any ideas?
