[Bug 2020140] Re: Feature request: List executed commands in "Details"

[Seth Arnold]

I have trouble reading my way around the code, but it's possible that
what you want may not actually exist; it's possible this program is
issuing API calls that do the underlying work without executing  higher-
level commands like 'apt-get install' etc.

You can check with the execsnoop-bpfcc program from the bpfcc-tools
package, but be forewarned it'll spit a *lot* of data, as the maintainer
scripts are simple shell scripts that execute a lot of programs,
repetitively.

Thanks

Title:
  Feature request: List executed commands in "Details"

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  update-manager is listing if packages are downloaded, installed, and
  removed in the "Details" section, but the responsible commands (apt-
  get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade, apt autoremove, apt clean, apt
  full-upgrade, etc) for these actions are not listed in the section.

  Please add them, so people can build scripts, and reproduce bugs,
  based on update-manager.
