What happens when you type apt-get clean after sudo gainroot?
It doesn't notify you of anything actually happening, does it?
No, there is no feedback unless your cache has lots to be cleaned out, in which case there will be a slight pause.
The commands apt-get autoclean and apt-get autoremove will provide some feedback, similar to this (output from my Ubuntu install):

barrieluv@barrieluv-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get clean
[sudo] password for barrieluv:
barrieluv@barrieluv-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get autoclean

Hope this helps.
