I’m on a CentOS machine. I updated and installed some packages a few weeks back, but I don’t remember the name of every package or the names of every dependency. I used yum.
Can I list the packages on my system by the date they were last installed or updated?

Method 1
To list all packages and their install dates, latest first:
rpm -qa --last
Method 2
This should work on any RPM based machine:
rpm -qa --qf '%{INSTALLTIME} (%{INSTALLTIME:date}): %{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}n' | sort -n
(To get a list of all possible tags, use rpm --querytags.)
Method 3
You might like the latest last:
rpm -qa --last | tac
