Where is it in my machine? I need to start un-installing updates to solve page loading problems...
Thanks!
ed.:
I found this (attached). Do I just mark each one for un-installation in synaptic, until I find the problem?
Thanks again...

You can view installed, upgraded and removed package history in synaptic under file>history

Thanks that solved half of my issues without my having to ask ;)
But is there a way to make the history available in a spreadsheet or similar so one can compare several machines?

You could try
dpkg --get-selections> history.txt
sudo dpkg --set-selections< history.txt
sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade*change history to what ever you want to call it.
You can then view the history in a text file.
Another one you could try is
sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log > history.txt

Thanks :) I had previously read about that trick, and it didnt make the light bulb in my light up.
Is there a way to get versions of all of those packages, that actually is what I am after. Making sure several machines are equally updated.
My appologies for only half asking my question DOOhhhh!
