Re: dates of install for pkgs

[Jörg-Volker Peetz <jvpeetz@web.de>]

Also don't know about such switch for dpkg.
The "list"-files of the installed packages in /var/lib/dpkg/info, I think, take
the date of installation. But I was to lazy to check it against the log-files.
So, something like

(cd /var/lib/dpkg/info;  ls -l *.list \
 | while read a b c d mm dd ty nm; do echo "$mm $dd $ty ${nm%.list}"; done)

could give a starting point for a list of installation dates.
For the removed packages this, obviously, does not work :-(
