Code:

grep install /var/log/dpkg.log

would have given you some info that looks allright for the human eye.

Instead, try

Code:

ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list -lh

This will give you some info on when a package was last modified but as dpkg does not store the date of installation (afaik) this is the closest thing I found. Of course this works only so far, as autoremove leaves .list files behind where purge does no such thing.

* write the output to a text file for your convenience.
