This info changes on every install/remove done by apt or directly by dpkg. The above scandalously pilfered from David Kalnischkies here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=566275 You can run 'strings' on pkgcache.bin BTW. curty@einstein:/var/cache/apt$ strings pkgcache.bin | less Standard .deb amd64 /var/lib/apt/lists/httpredir.debian.org_debian_dists_wheezy_main_binary-amd64_Packages httpredir.debian.org Debian Package Index 0~r11863-2 games 0ad-data 0~r11863 0~r11863-2 gamin libboost-signals1.49.0 1.49.0-1 libc6 2.11 libcurl3-gnutls <etc> It doesn't appear that tricky.
