Hi,
Can someone tell me how I can track what packages apt-get installs and
removes? I occasianally run apt-get dist-upgrade from cron and I would like
to know what has been installed and removed by apt-get afterwards.
I don't know about apt-get, but aptitude has a log file in
/var/log/aptitude.

Install apt-history, it's the best thng since sliced bread...
do the following.
1. add the following to your sources.list
deb-src http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian/
unstable main
2. do an apt-get update
3. as root
mkdir /root/debs
cd debs
apt-get build-dep apt-history && apt-get -b source apt-history
4. All that is left then is to do:
dpkg -i apt-history_0.1-1_all.deb
I don't backport to much but I install this on all my debian servers and
workstations.
