A great feature of aptitude is that it tracks automatically installed
packages, removing these when no package I have explicitly installed
depends on them. But where does it record this info?
I want to be able to see what I have explicitly installed ('manually
installed') on my system, since this is the list I have to manage to keep
my system maintainable. Writing it down in a logbook just doesn't cut it.
;-)
I've RTFM'd, and stared hard at /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates, but can't
work it out.
Anyone?
cheers,
Simon
PS: What I really want is a script that lists what was manually installed.
I expect to have to write that, unless someone can tell me differently.
