[Bug 90228] Re: Impossible to list only user installed packages

[Fausto Piovesan]

Also, apt should have some kind of log, this way you could list all
installed packages between some date. Also, we could see all changes
filtered by date. Something like:

$ apt-get log 2011-01-01:2011-05-01

And that should return something like:

2011-03-10:
Installed   some-pakage-name   0.1.2
Installed   other-package-name   1.5.6
Removed    another-package   2.3.4
2011-04-05:
Upgraded some-package-name   0.1.3

Title:
  Impossible to list only user installed packages

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  It is impossible for the apt user (or using any of its interfaces) to
  list all the user installed packages. By user installed packages I
  mean all packages manually installed and not on the basic system
  installation.
