Is there a command similar to `dpkg --get-selections' that shows all installed/deinstalled pkgs, but where one can get the dates of install or remove. A fairly quick pass thru man dpkg seems to indicate there is not.
Well, if you don't need to go back more than about 6 months, I think you can find what you need in the aptitude logs (and archives) under /var/log.
It happens that I keep all of my old aptitude logs because I like to keep track of this stuff all the way back to the original installation of the system.
