aptitude logging question
Is it possible just using aptitude to log what happens as a result of
system upgrades and package installations? I had a situation with
x11-common and xserver-xorg where --print-installation-architecture had
been used. I'm wondering if I had configured aptitude correctly aptitude
could have left me a file with the package names along with warnings and
errors in it so that if there were more than just those two packages this
had happened to I could fix all of them just using that log. Of course a
log like that would be dangerous if dpkg ever went into one of its fatal
error loops and filled up the disk space. In the event debian got say
/tmp filled to maximum and the computer was rebooted to bring debian up
again, would debian be able to come up running?
