There might be other > solutions, but how about monitoring dpkg.log with logcheck? Have you tried "man apt.conf": Pre-Install-Pkgs This is a list of shell commands to run before invoking dpkg. Like options this must be specified in list notation. The commands are invoked in order using /bin/sh, should any fail APT will abort. APT will pass to the commands on standard input the filenames of all .deb files it is going to install, one per line.

If you know the name, then that answeres your first question, and the second you can get by dpkg -s pkgname and some grep and awk (or a one line perl script with some fancy RE) Cheers Oli i want to log every change of packages in my system.
