[SOLVED] How to list installed packages, newest to oldest if possible?

[derebo]

As per topic title, since it seems:
sudo cat /var/log/dpkg.log
is not listing them.

sudo apt list --installed
sudo dpkg-query -l

are helpful but still, not sorting by newest, which is the goal here.

Any feedback is appreciated in advance.

Following shows up on a regular web search for recent updated packages

• https://www.baeldung.com/linux/list-packages-by-install-date
• apt - Is it possible to get a list of most recently installed packages? - Ask Ubuntu

Maybe it helps on your challenge

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. I know what happened: Log System : [DietPi-RAMlog #1]
So after reboot, no log so way to find it out. That’s why dpkg.log was empty

Thank you once more!

@derebo

/var/log/

yes indeed, on a default configuration /var/log/ is a tmpfs

@Joulinar No issues at all! I value RAMlog so much! Thank you for excellent feedback and support to you and everyone involved in DietPi. Topic closed
