Neither the apt nor the dpkg manual page mentions this log file, so I didn't know to look for it. The first thing that worries me about this file is that it only contains very recent actions, and it's not controlled by /etc/logrotate.conf, so it looks like dpkg itself is pruning old entries. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
