That log message means that at 08:02:37 on July 23rd, 2020, the computer went from not having any i386-architecture version of liblv-0-0 installed at all to having version 0.24.2~dfsg0-2 installed. The "<none>" is the version which was installed *before* dpkg took action. The field after that is the version which was installed *after* dpkg took action. (Or maybe "was to be"; I don't know what gets logged in the case where the install fails, et cetera.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
