Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.24 Severity: wishlist Hello,
currently, dpkg is able to log status change updates and actions to a
file. Would it also be possible to log dpkg warning messages etc. to
some file as well? Some of these messages (like `unable to delete old
directory') are good indicators of garbage left after package upgraded
or removals and it is usually a good idea to investigate such situations
to keep the real filesystem as close as possible to the package managers
notion about how the filesystem should look like.
However, with many packages upgraded at once on the one hand and limited
scrollback buffers (i.e. on console) on the other hand, it is really
hard to catch all these messages on the fly. So logging these messages
somewhere would be really helpful.
Thanks for your work & regards
Mario
