I don't know of any simple way to get that info from the package management system, but, using an idea that came up on this list a few months ago, I have made a little script run by cron every day that generates a list of all installed packages, compares with the list generated in the previous run, and adds the changes, duly timestamped, to a history file. This enables me to get the info you want: $ install-log-show alsa-base base-config <alsa-base>: 2002-09-21 04:55:04: + alsa-base 0.9.0rc3-0.1 2002-12-03 04:55:01: + alsa-base 0.9.0rc5-2 2002-12-22 04:55:01: + alsa-base 0.9.0rc6-3 <base-config>: 2002-09-13 04:55:05: + base-config 1.41 2002-10-20 04:55:02: + base-config 1.43 2002-11-11 04:55:02: + base-config 1.44 2003-01-02 04:55:02: + base-config 1.49 Doesn't solve your problem now, but will in future instances of it.
