Hi,
Can someone tell me how I can track what packages apt-get installs and
removes? I occasianally run apt-get dist-upgrade from cron and I would like
to know what has been installed and removed by apt-get afterwards.
Thanks for your help.
If you use aptitude, the syntax is almost exactly the same, and it logs
its actions in /var/log/aptitude. Running upgrades from cron is risky,
you might try the "-s" option, which tells what would be installed and
removed without actually doing it.
I use cron-apt to download the updated files overnight, but not install
them. In the morning, I run apt-get -u upgrade and I can see what will
be installed before I let it actually make the changes.
