I am new to ubuntu and trying to find out the way to list all installed packages and its details like version, release, install time, category on Ubuntu. Found that following commands will help me get some of this information:
1) dpkg -l
2) dpkg-query -W -f='${PackageSpec}\t${version}\t${Description}\n'
Unlike Redhat the install time and category information is missing in this. Can anyone know of a way to retrieve these details?
Thanks in advance.
