    https://garage.maemo.org/projects/aptitude - but only for DIABLO_X86... I tried building for ARMEL, but failed. Maybe I'll do it on device, as aptitude is something I do wish to have on a tablet (unlike synaptic).

    Well, there's the question about the logs. IIRC (and no debian around here to check), aptitude puts a lot of history in /var/log
    Actually I like it to track problems, you know what was last updated...
    I've done a simple script to grep through it

    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    [[ $1 == -h ]] &&  { echo "
    
    # version: 0.5
    # date: 2009-03-05
    
    # usage:
    # ./script will display packages status of the current day
    # ./script <regexp> will display a summary of packages status with line containing <regexp>
    #
    # examples:
    # ./script 2007-04-13          lists changed package statuses on this day
    # ./script locales             lists changes on package locales
    # ./script 2007-04-12.*upgrade lists only upgraded packages on the day before
    # ./script ^2007|less -R       list the history of the year
    " ; exit ; }
    pattern=${1:-`date +%Y-%m-%d`}
    for i in `ls -1r /var/log/dpkg.log*` ; do (
    	zcat -f  $i | egrep $pattern | \
    	awk ' BEGIN { RED=31; GREEN=33 ; BLUE= 34 }
    	 { f1=" "; f2=" "; f3=" "; }
    	 /upgrade\ /       { stat="  U" ; col=GREEN; f1=$4; f2=$5; f3=$6; }
    	 /not-installed/ { stat="- D" ; col=RED ;  f1=$5 }
    	 /config-files/  { stat="- C" ; col=RED ;  f1=$5; f2=$6 }
    	 / install.*</   { stat="+ I";  col=BLUE ; f1=$4; f3=$6 }
    	 {
    	   if (f1!=" ") printf("%s %s: \033[0;%dm%s\033[0m %*s %*s %*s\n",$1,$2,col,stat,30,f1,40,f2,40,f3); 
    	 }
    	' | uniq
    )
    done
    Displays nice colors
