how to get a list of updated packages after "apt-get update"
Howdy,
how can I check which packages are new after doing a "apt-get update"?
I don't want to upgrade all packages I just want to know whether a
certain number of packages can be upgraded. I don't want to run dselect
either since this will starting selecting lots of stuff automaticaly
and I will end up with a big mess afterwards too.
Where does apt-get keep track of the packages after a "apt-get update"?
