/**

* <p>
|
||||
* The installation process downloads APKs to the cache, then when an APK is being
|
||||
* installed, it is copied into files for running the install. Installs can happen
|
||||
* fully in the background, so the user might clear the cache at any time, so the
|
||||
* APK cannot be installed from the cache. Also, F-Droid is not guaranteed to get
|
||||
* an event after the APK is installed, so that can't be used to delete the APK
|
||||
* from files when it is no longer needed. That's where CleanCacheWorker comes in,
|
||||
* it runs regularly to ensure things are cleaned up. If something blocks it from
|
||||
* running, then APKs can remain in {@link org.fdroid.fdroid.installer.ApkFileProvider}
