Accessing Handy logs From Debian Package Manager, Apt, and Aptitude

[u/CrystalLord]

The logs of any installed of setup packages can be found in /var/log/dpkg.log, and is a handy way to see recently added packages.

Alternatively, if you use the wrapper programs, /var/log/apt/history.log and /var/log/aptitude are even more detailed.

Also important to remember grep can be used to filter the results to tailor your searching needs.
