Is there an apt log somewhere?

[Golem XIV]

I am wondering if apt generates a log with the information on installed/removed/updated packages and so on. If it does, where is it? If it doesn't, can it be enabled?

Take a look at /var/log/apt/term.log

There also seems to be some relevant info in /root/.synaptic/log

Also take a look in:

/var/log/dpkg.log

Thats more to do with installed packages etc tho.

This one seems to be more detailed, probably more useful for tracing problems. Thanks!
