I would like to list all packages installed on a Ubuntu Server 10.04 that were upgraded for security reasons. Is there any tool that will list all security packages installed on a system?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Amit

  • I am not certain, but I feel this may be not possible, as dpkg does not know what is the repo a package originates from, and therefore it may be impossible to determine if it was a security upgrade or not. Oct 21, 2013 at 21:07

if you install apt-show-versions:

sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions

and then run:

apt-show-versions -a  | grep "security\."

The output will list all packages installed from security.ubuntu.com
