   Ever wonder when your system last updated a package when using a Debian or Ubuntu Linux? Let's check Firefox, for example. Type this:

   ```
   grep -B4 firefox /var/log/apt/history.log
   ```

   See https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-find-package-installed-updated-date/ for more info.

     @nixCraft Does not work in modern Ubuntu for the example given, because they have turned firefox into a snap

     @elysegrasso no. In that case snap info firefox would give you the info
