Recently installed packages
I recently installed several packages along with their dependencies. I have since decided that I didn't really want those packages after all but I can't remember the names of all the installed dependencies. Is there any way to get a list of packages installed within a certain time frame (perhaps an apt log)? thanks, Stuart Johnston -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
