I find it surprising that there appears to be NO log of the apt actions
(visible if you click on "Show Details" in e.g. adept_updater) performed
by Adept (Updater). They are not written to /var/log/apt/term.log, yet
Adept doesn't store them anywhere either.

I don't know if Adept (Updater) not throwing away the APT logs is a
separate feature request or if this would cover it. However, for what a
random user's opinion is worth, I'd support raising the importance to
Medium - I think having decent logs is a pretty basic expectation for a
package manager.

(I just faced a (minor) packaging bug that exposed an Adept Updater bug,
while upgrading Hardy with KDE 4.1 ppa packages, but since there's no
log (and I fail to have photographic memory, plus the fact that Adept
updater hides the details when you click away the error popup), it's
pretty hard to track what the packaging bug was. The packaging bug was
fixed by "apt-get upgrade" and the "apt-get -f install" suggested by it.
Had I used "apt-get upgrade" from the start, I'd at least have logs of
it all.)
