That does exist, yes, but it tracks "explicitly selected for installation" vs. "installed as a dependency" - and even beyond the problems which you note, that isn't the distinction which Ottavio appears to be interested in. The distinction Ottavio is interested in appears to be "installed by 'dpkg -i' from a .deb file on the command line" vs. "installed via 'apt' or 'apt-get' from a repository". (It's not clear how "installed via 'apt' from a .deb file on the command line" would be counted for this purpose.) As far as I'm aware, there is no tracking of where the package entered the local system from, which is what would be necessary in order for something to report the information Ottavio appears to be seeking. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
