[member=458]m654321[/member]  They are stored at:

Code:

/var/cache/apt/archives/

Had a look at the above location, but only some packages listed, i.e.
firefox, flashplugin, gir1.2, libn*, libpcap, libsmbclient, libsnapd, libssh, libwbclient, network manager, samba packages.

Can't see Kernel packages or others.

Kernel packages are stored there along with all other packages, they are not in a separate location. If there are none there, then your last clean cleared them out.
