Re: apt logfile?
Is there an apt (or dpkg) logfile? Something that would keep a record of what was done when? Just a simple text file with a format of: timestamp action full-package-name Does anyone else think this could be very useful? Me2! It's not what you meant, but sometimes I use ls -ot /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.md5sums | head -20 Stony

It's not what you meant, but sometimes I use ls -ot /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.md5sums | head -20 I did something similar to this a while back by putting a wrapper around 'dpkg' that used 'logger' to log the commandline arguments with which dpkg was called. Braindead, but at least it gave me an idea of which packages were installed when.
