Background: I came back to an old server of mine today and ran apt-get update; apt-get upgrade only to find there were no updates available. Subsequently tried dist-upgrade as well. This baffles me a bit b/c I hadn't accessed the machine in quite a while. On the other hand, it is running 14.04., so maybe not a lot of updates are released there anymore.

I am wondering if I can see online somewhere how many updates have been released since a certain date or between two dates. Is there such a resource available? Can I alternatively construct something like this if I have access to a virtual machine with the same release as the server?

edit1: This seems related Tracking the popularity of a package over time? but the web site "popcon" suggested there appears to be offline.

  • DO you have unattended-upgrades set up? What does `/var/log/apt/history.log` have to say? – muru Mar 10 '16 at 01:15
  • That's a fair question. It's a VPS, but I don't think so. history.log reveals: 4-5 packages updated today (that came from nodejs ppa) and history.log.2.gz shows the last update from 2015-11-13 (installed golang, not even full upgrade either) There's a folder /var/log/unattended-upgrades, but it's empty. – Matthias Kauer Mar 10 '16 at 01:36
