Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, /var/log/apt/history.log is missing. Has it been replaced by something else?

It's alive and well in Lubuntu 12.10. I know you mentioned Ubuntu. – vasa1 Feb 4 at 5:29
This file should not be missing. Anything odd happened on your system? Distk full for example? Please provide the output of ls -al /var/log/apt – gertvdijk Feb 4 at 7:39
$ ls -al /var/log/apt; ls: cannot access /var/log/apt: No such file or directory – lsiden Feb 4 at 18:20
@lsiden Well... those directories don't disappear by themselves. And please edit your question with new information - it's how this site works. Please include the whole story, such as "I changed my /var to be tmpfs in some instructions some time ago." I mean, it's hard to tell why these very base system directories seem not to be present and this doesn't break by itself. – gertvdijk Feb 5 at 20:00
@gertvdijk - Not sure what you mean by "new information". You mean the output of "ls -al"? I didn't think of it as new info, but if you prefer it, I'll add it and also the output of "mount". – lsiden Feb 21 at 15:03
