| Nov 11, 2017 at 0:05 | comment | added | Jeff Schaller♦ | I didn’t vote to close it, because I’m not familiar with Mint, but I would think that it’d be important to give the name of the package that you installed and are concerned about. If you don’t know what it is, the installer logs may be useful and possibly a reminder to you . | |

| Nov 8, 2017 at 21:54 | comment | added | David Knipe | Why is this on hold? I want to know how to find out whether a package I installed was compromised, and what I should do if it was. What's unclear about that? The "How to Ask" link is a generic list of types of bad questions (not just unclear ones), none of which obviously matches my question. Ironically, this is less enlightening than the question itself. Is it because I haven't answered Timothy's question satisfactorily? And why doesn't stackexchange have a reliable mechanism I can use to ask you guys for clarification? (I'm not convinced anyone will read the comments on an on-hold question.) | |

| Nov 6, 2017 at 18:56 | comment | added | David Knipe | Sorry, I've now said it's Mint but I don't know how to check the exact version. (But I think it's got a 17 in it.) | |
