Hi, according to the following links, there are/were plans for dpkg to support logging (via syslog) all package installation actions: http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2001/09/msg00074.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2000/03/msg00402.html logging is still in the TODO file, so I assume, that the feature is not yet implemented, right? Is somebody working on that? Thanks in advance! Cheers, WB
