Many thanks. If you install etckeeper on this machine, you can check in snapshots of every configuration change you make and the packaging system makes, and then see precisely what changed and when. $ sudo apt install etckeeper before each change: $ sudo etckeeper commit [optional message to yourself] when there's a problem: $ sudo etckeeper vcs diff will show you the difference between what you have now and what you last stored You can actually do just about anything you need to do on a single user system with those two commands, but you have the whole power of git available as well. -dsr-
