Also, apt should have some kind of log, this way you could list all installed packages between some date. Also, we could see all changes filtered by date. Something like:
$ apt-get log 2011-01-01:2011-05-01 And that should return something like: 2011-03-10: Installed some-pakage-name 0.1.2 Installed other-package-name 1.5.6 Removed another-package 2.3.4 2011-04-05: Upgraded some-package-name 0.1.3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90228 Title: Impossible to list only user installed packages -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
