which-pkg-broke - find which package might have broken another
SYNOPSIS
which-pkg-broke package
DESCRIPTION
The which-pkg-broke program will retrieve a list of the named package and all its dependencies sorted by the time they were installed on
the system (as determined from the mtime information of /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list .
This tool makes it possible for a system admin to obtain information that might correlate installation of package dependencies with a pack-
age breakage in order to find which package update might be responsible for the breakage.
EXAMPLES
This tool can be useful determine which package dependencies were upgraded more recently and might be associated with the bug that is being
observed. For example, if aptitude stops working properly, an administrator can run:
$ which-pkg-broke aptitude
Package <libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3> has no install time info
libdb1-compat Fri Aug 8 03:02:11 2003
libsigc++-1.2-5c102 Fri Aug 8 05:15:58 2003
aptitude Sun Jan 11 17:38:06 2004
libncurses5 Sun Jan 18 08:11:05 2004
libc6 Thu Jan 22 07:55:10 2004
libgcc1 Tue Jan 27 07:37:22 2004
gcc-3.3-base Tue Jan 27 07:37:31 2004
libstdc++5 Tue Jan 27 07:37:32 2004
So depending on exactly when the misbehaviour started, there may be a reason to point the finger at a more-recently updated library like
libstdc++ or libncurses, which are more-recently installed than aptitude itself.
