Package: apt
Version: 0.5.14
Severity: wishlist

For some applications(*), it would be highly desirable(*) to obtain a list 
of files that have been seen/touched/transformed as a result of an apt-get 
update.

Unfortunately, an

strace -o apt.trace -f -e trace=files apt-get upgrade

causes the sub-processes dealing with the various access method protocols 
to fail.


(*) While this clearly is a "wishlist" issue, It nevertheless should be 
considered as important, since some people may want to use such a 
mechanism to easily maintain a tripwire-like database.
