I can damn sure installing, updating and removing packages in Linux system is one of the routine activity for Linux administrator, also they need to push a security updates to Linux system when it requires.
For this whole activity, package manager is playing the major role and we can’t perform all these action without a package manager.
If you would like to know when the package has installed or updated or erased then you are in the right page to get the information.
In this tutorial you will be learning about the package activity such as installed date, package updated date, package erased date, package removed date, and who had performed that action.
All the package managers are doing the same work but their functionality is different compared with others. We had already written all of these in the past. If you would like to check these then go to the corresponding URL which is listed below.
All the package managers are allowing us to install a new package, update a existing packages, remove un-wanted packages, erase obsolete packages, etc.,
Below are the famous package managers for Linux.
YUM stands for Yellowdog Updater, Modified is an open-source command-line front-end package-management utility for RPM based systems such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS.
Yum is the primary tool for getting, installing, deleting, querying, and managing RPM packages from distribution repositories, as well as other third-party repositories.
If you would like to check the package installed date, just run the following command format and change the package that you want to check. Here we are going to check the
RPM stands for RPM Package Manager formerly known as Red Hat Package Manager is a powerful package management system for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) as well as other Linux distribution such as Fedora, CentOS, and openSUSE. RPM maintains a database of installed packages and their files, so you can invoke powerful queries and verification’s on your system.
To view the latest installed date of package, just run the following rpm command format.
yum history command.
Use yum history command, if you want to list what are the packages that has installed/updated/erased in the particular date.
If you would like to check the package installed date, just run the
following command format and change the package that you want to check.
DPKG stands for Debian Package is a tool to install, build, remove and manage Debian packages, but unlike other package management systems, it cannot automatically download and install packages or their dependencies.
If you would like to check the package installed date, just run the following command format and change the package that you want to check.

How To View Package Installed/Updated/Erased Date In CentOS/RHEL Systems
RHEL and CentOS systems are using YUM package manager hence we can use theyum.log file and yum history command to get this information.YUM stands for Yellowdog Updater, Modified is an open-source command-line front-end package-management utility for RPM based systems such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS.
Yum is the primary tool for getting, installing, deleting, querying, and managing RPM packages from distribution repositories, as well as other third-party repositories.
If you would like to check the package installed date, just run the following command format and change the package that you want to check. Here we are going to check the
htop package installed date.# grep -i installed /var/log/yum.log | grep htop May 03 08:40:22 Installed: htop-1.0.3-1.el6.x86_64To view package updated date, just run the following command format.

How To View Package Installed Date In CentOS/RHEL Systems
Alternatively we can check the package latest installed date using rpm command.RPM stands for RPM Package Manager formerly known as Red Hat Package Manager is a powerful package management system for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) as well as other Linux distribution such as Fedora, CentOS, and openSUSE. RPM maintains a database of installed packages and their files, so you can invoke powerful queries and verification’s on your system.
To view the latest installed date of package, just run the following rpm command format.
# rpm -qi nano | grep "Install Date"
Install Date: Fri 03 Mar 2017 08:57:47 AM EST Build Host: c5b2.bsys.dev.centos.org
Alternatively use rpm with qi option to view the latest installed date of package.# rpm -qa --last | grep htop htop-1.0.3-1.el6.x86_64 Thu 03 May 2018 08:40:22 AM EDTAlternatively use rpm with
q option alone to view the latest installed date of package.# rpm -q epel-release --last epel-release-6-8.noarch Fri 18 May 2018 10:33:06 AM EDT
How To View Package Installed/Updated/Erased Date In CentOS/RHEL Systems
Also we can check the package installed or updated or removed or erased date usingyum history command.
Use yum history command, if you want to list what are the packages that has installed/updated/erased in the particular date.

How To View Package Installed/Updated/Upgraded/Erased Date In Arch Linux Systems
Arch Linux based systems are using pacman package manager hence we can use the pacmanhistory.log file to get this information.If you would like to check the package installed date, just run the following command format and change the package that you want to check.
$ grep "installed" /var/log/pacman.log | grep firefox [2017-08-24 06:43] [ALPM] installed firefox (55.0.2-1)Alternatively, we can use the following command as well to get this details.
$ pacman -Qi firefox | grep "Install Date" Install Date : Thu 24 Aug 2017 06:43:43 AM UTCTo view package removed/erased date, just run the following command format.
$ grep "removed" /var/log/pacman.log | grep nano [2018-08-09 05:59] [ALPM] removed nano (2.8.6-1)To view package upgraded/updated date, just run the following command format.
$ grep "upgraded" /var/log/pacman.log | grep nano [2017-08-24 06:02] [ALPM] upgraded nano (2.8.6-1 -> 2.8.7-1)
