Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist

No log is recorded of the actions (installing, removing, etc...) carried out by apt-get. This is annoying when one wants to undo an install request, because you don't necessarily exactly remember which extra packages were installed along the main requested one.

I'm using the following (quite primitive) wrapper script in /root/bin as a workaround, but it would be nice if that capacity could be directly included in apt.

My script:
---------

#!/bin/sh

export LOG_FILE=/var/log/apt-get.log

echo Logging Wrapper for apt-get [ftaiani 2002-02-19]
echo Output is logged to $LOG_FILE

(echo ; date ; echo $0 $* ; echo ) >> /var/log/apt-get.log

/usr/bin/apt-get $* | tee -a /var/log/apt-get.log

Apt logs all to /var/log/apt/term.log by default, and there is a configuration
option to log to other file. I'm closing these bugs.
