' dpkg -l | less ' (That's dash L PIPE less.) You can see the list of packages that have been updated (as long as you don't do apt-get clean) by ' ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives '.

--Here is a helpful script I run to get rid of certain packages after a fresh install - you should check it 1st to make sure it's not getting rid of things you WANT. Save it in /usr/local/bin and chmod +x it, and run as root.
#BEGIN knx-freshinstall-purgedebs
Code:
#!/bin/bash

function deldeb
{
 echo " --- Deleting: $1"
 apt-get remove --purge --assume-yes $1
}

Oh and another question, which probably everybody knows the answer but I don't =) : how can I see the package list that I just updated using :
Code:
apt-get update
is there something like "apt view" ??

Thanks a lot!
