/var/lib/apt/lists directory has two kinds of files (*_Packages, *_Translation-en).



/var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages - contains the full package information with short description.



/var/lib/apt/lists/*_Translation_en - contains the full description for all the packages.



These files are used to build the cache files (/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin and srcpkgcache.bin ).



When do these files (/var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages) get updated?



I modified one the package version number in /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Packages file. Then I ran "apt-get update" but my change is not reverted.
