To pass to genlop with --date, in order to get a list of all packages installed after that date. > With your find approach, if the package has been uninstalled you'll > find nothing. Of course. The question was about finding all packages installed after a particular reference package, in this case gcc. If the reference package is no longer installed 9impossible with gcc of course) the question becomes pointless. > If you were wanting to know if some other behaviour could be dated to > the uninstall of something it would be of no use. It would, you'd only have to modify it to use genlop's -u option. All of this is irrelevant anyway, using genlop and parsing the output is going round three sides of a square instead of going in a straight line with find. Using a non-standard bash or perl script to parse the output of an optional perl script seems rather redundant when you can do it all with one call to a core command. -- Neil Bothwick After a few years in space, even Worf started to look good...
