package install dates, or log

[Brian Craft]

Well, if anyone else has this trouble, I eventually found that the
modification times on files under /var/log/dpkg reflect the install
time.

To find the packages I'd installed in the last day, I did

	find /var/lib/dpkg -mtime 0 -name "*.list"

pipe to "xargs apt-get remove" to remove them.

b.c.
