That log message means that at 08:02:37 on July 23rd, 2020, the computer
went from not having any i386-architecture version of liblv-0-0
installed at all to having version 0.24.2~dfsg0-2 installed.

The "<none>" is the version which was installed *before* dpkg took
action. The field after that is the version which was installed *after*
dpkg took action. (Or maybe "was to be"; I don't know what gets logged
in the case where the install fails, et cetera.)
