Can we please have an "apt rollback" function?

  If you're using btrfs, you do get that feature: https://moritzmolch.com/blog/2506.html https://moritzmolch.com/blog/2506.html

  That fundamentally requires a snapshot-capable filesystem, so you need to use a distro designed around such.

    Not necessarily. You can use the ptrace() system call to trace a process and store what it reads/writes into a journal, etc. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ptrace.2.html https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ptrace.2.html

  Yes sure apt (3.1.7) unstable; urgency=medium . [ Julian Andres Klode ] * test-history: Adjust for as-installed testing . [ Simon Johnsson ] * Add history undo, redo, and rollback features

    Exciting. I just looked for docs about these new features, and can't find anything. Can you point us to these? Thanks!
