Is there a simple way to get the list of packages installed since
the fresh
installation of deby ?

I saw etckeeper in the doc (it's a bit late for that :( ) and I
know I can
go through the logs : /var/log/dpkg.log, /var/log/apt/term.log,
/var/log/aptitude but Christmas was only 7 days ago, maybe someone
has the miracle recipe ?

You can save a list of installed packages on the old machine with
the command|dpkg --get-selections > ~/packages|and then restore it
on the new one with|sudo dpkg --set-selections < ~/packages|
Yes thanks. I know this one but it returns all installed packages : I
need all
packages since installation. ;)

If you run X, then Synaptic gives a slightly easier way of reading the
logs, with a simple search. See File->History.

If it has to be a real list of packages since xxx date, then I think
you need to write a script to parse the log files.

Yeah, I'm already on it.. I was suspecting something like that. The miraculous
solution to all : human labor ! :-D

Thanks anyway.
