I used APT::Cache-Limit “50000000″ (to increase from 25000000) in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf when trying to get this to work in KNOPPIX 6.2
Worked like a charm. Thanks GKOO!!

I tried this and it worked, albeit with a small change:
APT::Cache-Limit “10000000″;

should be

"APT::Cache-Limit 10000000;

without the quotation marks, otherwise apt doesn’t didn’t seem to register the change in my case.

best of luck to anyone who runs into this issue
