Until Ian has the spare time to include activity logging in
dpkg/dselect, I do the following:
I use dselect to decide which packages I want to install remove.
To do the actual installation and removal from the command line using
something like
dpgk -iGROEB development/binary non-free/binary contrib/binary \
| tee /root/update.log
and
dpkg --purge --pending
To skip the trivial info in my update.log file, I use
egrep -v 'deselected|already installed' /root/update.log
(All this comes with the usual warning: Typos not excluded... :-) )
Cheers,
Lukas
