Disabling the "root caches" is a good idea for reproducibility of our
builds and if there is not enough space on the builders ;-)

If we want the "root caches" I need to add more disk space (no problem),
but as the builder was not working anymore I was looking for the best
solution for now (except deleting the cache every second week).
