Ok, now I had a look on the log file.
I think apt-history is different. If you want you can see
the same info but the log is a typical logfile. You have to
use grep and other coreutils to get for example the new
version of a package and the displayed version of the
package before because the infos aren't listed in context in
the logfile. It is easier than building the information apt-history
gives out of the logfile.
Example:
sudo apt-history show upgrade
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade gstreamer0.8-alsa=0.8.8-3 0.8.10-1
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade libbonobo2-common=2.8.1-2 2.10.0-1
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade gnome-desktop-data=2.10.1-2 2.10.2-1
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade libgimp2.0=2.2.7-1 2.2.8-2
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade findutils=4.2.22-1 4.2.22-2
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade e2fslibs=1.37+1.38-WIP-0620-1 1.38-1
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade dselect=1.13.9 1.13.10
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade libgnome-keyring0=0.4.2-1 0.4.3-1
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade login=1:4.0.3-35 1:4.0.3-36
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade zlib1g-dev=1:1.2.2-4 1:1.2.2-7
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade libgcrypt11-dev=1.2.0-11.1 1.2.1-1
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade telnet=0.17-29 0.17-30
2005-07-09 00:12:03: upgrade libqdbm-dev=1.8.30-1 1.8.30-2
I think it is a nice little tool to furbish the information so I think
it would be good to have this in the tool chain.
And please correct me if I missed something
Regards Nico
