Track changes in program installation?
I always use Synaptic to install new software and I have the habit of clicking "Show Details" then copying and pasting that list of changes into a document before clicking "Apply." I do that because if I don't like the program, I know exactly what to remove: the program and its dependencies, but not dependencies that were already there before the installation.
I wonder if there is a smarter way to do that (for Debian). |
Hi,
I use "apt-get autoremove" and sometimes look in /var/log/apt/history.log. Evo2. ---------- Post added 2015-05-28 at 15:37 ---------- Hi, I use "apt-get autoremove" and sometimes look in /var/log/apt/history.log. Evo2. |
Excellent. Short of a tool that will do the selective uninstallation for me (which I rarely ever do), this is perfect. At least I don't have to take notes manually anymore.
