Dear James, I just saw the dataup package. It seems to do the thing I want but don't know how to use the 'hook script with APT::Update:Post-Invoke to do/display whatever you might want to' . The dataup package :- $ aptitude show daptup Package: daptup State: not installed Version: 0.12.6 Priority: extra Section: admin Maintainer: Eugene V. Lyubimkin <jac...@debian.org> Architecture: all Uncompressed Size: 262 k Depends: perl, liblocale-gettext-perl, apt (>= 0.7.10) | cupt, coreutils (>= 7.0) Suggests: aptitude Description: reporter of changes in list of available packages from repositories Daptup is the apt hook which runs automatically within 'apt-get update' or 'cupt update' and outputs four lists: * packages came to archive with this update; * new upgradeable packages; * changes in "watched" packages (not installed, such packages have to be specified in configuration file); * outdated packages that have a new install candidate (optionally). Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/daptup Look forward to some more answers. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
