I was looking for a log of such updates, as wiki recently broke
due to a (default?) misconfiguration of the php apache module.
Was that module updated recently ? Or can you tell where
/etc/php5/apache/php.ini came from ?

They are now in /var/lib/trashme, if you want to take them elsewhere.

Can you think of other possible ways those 2.4GB were consumed
temporarly, enough for the cron job updating mandb would fail ?
