up2date log in ES30

All,

Before I update a package, I would like to capture the old package (version #).

Is there a log file that gets updated that says, this is ver1 before the up2date and after that says it is ver2.

I have check /var/log/up2date but it simply lists that I have executed successfully the up2date command.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Shalom,

suggest rpm -qa output before and after, then diff the files.

rpm -qa > file1
upd2date
rpm -qa > file2

diff file1 file2

I should have thought of that myself.

Thank you I can work with that.

Appreciated.
