Hi DD folken, I simple question. In my quest to log package installation, I wrote a wrapper script for dpkg. I 'mv dpkg dpkg.real' and 'vi dpkg' with a wrapper[0]. When I use aptitude and apt-get, these commands seem to call dpkg for all of there package installation and query needs. Do others (wajig,feta,...) use '/usr/bin/dpkg' for installing packages or do they use a library? obviously if they do, then my script will not log everything.
Also, is there a way to avoid a dpkg upgrade overwriting /usr/bin/dpkg
and (IIRC) divert /usr/bin/dpkg -> /usr/bin/dpkg.real, so that I dont
have to remember to redo this step?
with red swirly regards,
-Kev
[0] script
------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ -w /var/log/dpkg.log ]; then
echo "$(date) dpkg $@" >> /var/log/dpkg.log
fi
dpkg.real $@
