There are 3-4 main things that aptitude does and is good at -

a. Upgrading packages - $ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade -y

b. Installing packages - $ sudo aptitude install $PACKAGENAME

c. purging (removing package + configuration files - $ sudo aptitude purge $PACKAGENAME

Now all of aptitude exploits are written in /var/log/aptitude and its revolving gunzipped archives

┌─[shirish@debian] - [/var/log] - [10030] └─[$] cat apt apache2/ apt/ aptitude aptitude.1.gz aptitude.2.gz aptitude.3.gz aptitude.4.gz aptitude.5.gz aptitude.6.gz

Now I know that the data I'm looking for is probably in those aptitude logs. How do I tell aptitude to only show those packages which I installed anew rather than those installed as part of bicycleupgrades, any ideas anybody ?
