No, certainly, my fault...  I just did:

 $ zgrep "2020-07-23.*.install " /var/log/dpkg.log* | awk '{ print $4 }' | tr '\n' ' '

and then copied and pasted the output as argument of `# aptitude purge'...
Just so simple.  Now, I want to know when libiec61883-dev:i386 was installed
into my system.  To do so, I did:

 $ zgrep libiec61883-dev:i386 dpkg.log*
dpkg.log:2020-07-23 08:07:12 status unpacked libiec61883-dev:i386 1.2.0-3
dpkg.log:2020-07-23 08:07:12 configure libiec61883-dev:i386 1.2.0-3 <none>
dpkg.log:2020-07-23 08:07:12 status unpacked libiec61883-dev:i386 1.2.0-3
dpkg.log:2020-07-23 08:07:13 status half-configured libiec61883-dev:i386 1.2.0-3
dpkg.log:2020-07-23 08:07:13 status installed libiec61883-dev:i386 1.2.0-3

In the output there isn't any `install' item...  How come...?

thanks,
