This is especially useful for the case where something regressed on your computer after the last update and you want to see what got updated for troubleshooting purposes. 1769550 1 aleixpol 2018-07-31 01:50:20 +0000 Maybe, I guess you're specifically talking about packagekit or any? Because the strategies that every system suggests to recover from an issue is different: snap it's channels, flatpak it's sources and internal versioning, distros it largely depends, on opensuse they have a cool stuff going on with btrfs. I'm afraid that the history would only be useful for reporting, but nothing one could do there. 1769641 2 nate 2018-07-31 13:46:57 +0000 That's currently true, but un-actionable information can still be useful--not only for troubleshooting, but also just making the user feel more informed and in control. Also, an Update History page would support and be a prerequisite for the potential future features of error recovery and/or package/app version rollbacks. 1793508 3 aleixpol 2018-10-11 17:06:18 +0000 Muon has the history feature ad-hoc for apt. I'd say people can just use that if they need to interact with history. 1793514 4 nate 2018-10-11 17:45:24 +0000 But I don't want to use Muon... 1823341 5 elrefaei.omar 2018-11-30 10:05:48 +0000 If we are trying to streamline workflow: 1) Moun is a bit a more than the average user would be comfortable with. 2) This does not solve it for flatpaks & snaps <toMySelf> MAN THIS FRAGMENTATION IS FRUSTRATING </toMySelf> On a serious note: this is not the first time I see different packaging/distribution mechanism holding back feature development 2489470 6 john.kde 2026-01-28 20:52:40 +0000 A user story giving additional confirmation of this issue (if that is needed): I just now clicked Update All while I had an openSUSE Tumbleweed system upgrade pending (which I think uses the PackageKit backend) with 150-something updates in it. I realised I had not yet done what I normally like to do, which is to view the list of updates first (by clicking on the More Information button). Annoyingly, the More Information button had been greyed out after I had clicked Update All (which is BUG 431719), and the Cancel button seemed to have no effect (possibly BUG 457205 although that's about Flatpak). So I could only wait for the update to finish. Now I cannot retrospectively see in Discover what the 150 updates were, which is annoying, as that is exactly the place I would think to look.
