Question: Tracking the installation and removal of packages.

Posted by Anonymous on Fri 10 Jun 2005 at 01:51

Is there a package or configuration available which allows you to log whenever a package is installed or removed?

Ideally it would track any package oriented changes (eg. dpkg-repack or dpkg-reconfigure). I can't believe that this facility doesn't exist somehow but I have completely failed to find anything which does this.

Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Adam.
