Today my laptop warned me that disk space on / was running low. After
investigation I found out the source was /var/cache/PackageKit. It was
taking up over **24GB** of space of my 50GB root partition. 50GB!!!
My first question was, what the heck is PackageKit and why is it eating
half of my root partition (10% of my ENTIRE DISK)!?
