What did I install again? (RPM)

Postby viking60 » 19 Jul 2010, 23:23

Often I have wondered what an update (or I) have installed in Mandriva. I never remember the command so I just write it down here:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa --last | less

This will show the installations - the last one being on top and the oldest one at the bottom. Exit with q.

Nice! I didn't know you could do that, great for after updates.
Past experience demonstrates best method to tighten bolts is to use appropriate size spanners.

Yes exactly. I like it a lot, it gives me a feeling of control after those automated updates.
