Listing packages installed in the past 72 hours ?

| Hi
I suspect that one of the packages I installed in the past 72 hours is
responsible for some of the performance problems that have cropped up.
How do I use the apt mechanism to list those packages ?
Thanks.

I'm not sure you can use apt for this. If you have dpkg-www installed,
you can simply enter "recent=3" into the web form on
<http://localhost/cgi-bin/dpkg>.
Or you could use a find command on the directory /var/lib/dpkg/info,
such as:
$ find /var/lib/dpkg/info/ -daystart \( -name \*.list -a -mtime -3 \) | \
sed 's#.list$##;s#.*/##' | sort
adjusting the argument to -mtime accordingly.

I would also like to know this too, but it doesn't seem to work for me:
$ find /var/lib/dpkg/info/ -daystart \( -name \*.list -a -mtime -3 \) | \ sed 's#.list$##;s#.*/##' | sort
-bash: sed: command not found
$ sed
Usage: sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...
Did I mess up?

Take out the backslash immediatly before the sed command and it should
work. The '' at the end of the line above quotes the newline, and is
not needed if you write the command on one line.

You changed the line wrapping, from \
sed
to \ sed. There is no such command as " sed".
