Q: Is there a command/script that finds out how many gigabytes of upgrades are done on a monthly basis?
I looked at the general options available for "apt-get show"" and "apt-cache search", but nothing was obvious about how much was downloaded. Synaptic does provide a "history"" of all the pckgs (File --> History) that were upgraded/installed sorted by month. Is it possible to take this list presented by synaptic and find out how many gigabytes where DL per month? I know, I could figure this out by manually looking up at what was downloaded and tally the result for the month. But is there a way to do this repetitive task via script? Thanks Cheers
