    Exclamation update date

    Hi everyone,

    I updated my debian server some months back, and now recently have noticed my Hobbit application hasn't been behaving for the past few months either.

    What I need to know is how can I tell when exactly I updated my server with the latest patches. I haven't a clue what patches they were. I asume there has to be config file or something.

    Also, before you blast me with technical jargon - i'm a linux starter! :P

    any help would be great,
    impee.

    Take a look at
    Code:
    /var/log/dpkg.log
    . Depending on how many packages you installed it could be in /var/log/dpkg.log.1 (or 2, 3, etc...)

    Or you might look at /usr/share/package_name (it will have a changelog... won't tell the last time you update though)
