Im following this thread since I myself is looking for a way to backtrack changes in the system done by APT and dpkg. I know about the available* and status* files in /var/lib/dpkg but I didnt know about the /var/backups files. But when Im checking this directory I doesnt find any dpkg.status.* files. All the files that exists in my /var/backups directory is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/backups$ l total 17 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 3 2000 ./ drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 1024 Jun 3 2000 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 586 Mar 1 03:44 group.bak -rw-r----- 1 root shadow 434 Mar 1 03:44 gshadow.bak -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2571 Sep 2 2000 inetd.conf.bak -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2632 Sep 1 2000 inetd.conf.bak.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 930 Aug 24 2000 inetd.conf.bak.1.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 952 Aug 12 2000 inetd.conf.bak.2.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 924 Jan 29 2000 inetd.conf.bak.3.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1624 Mar 1 03:44 passwd.bak -rw-r----- 1 root shadow 999 Mar 1 03:44 shadow.bak -rw------- 1 root root 133 Dec 27 1999 smbpasswd.bak Im using dpkg (1.8.3.1) and apt (0.5.3). -- * John Ericson [EMAIL PROTECTED] * ICQ: 7325429 JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * web: http://john.pp.se
