I use this script to do what you say: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200311/msg04727.html By taking a snapshot of what you have installed each day, you can diff any two and see what changed, when. My scripts also move replaced/updated debs to archive directories by date, but you can also get them from snapshot.debian.net. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
