DUP Message Logs
Logging occurs when you run a command for a DUP. The logs maintain information about all update activities. DUPs
write to the Messages log. If you install the same package more than once on the same system, the log is appended. The
messages files directory contain messages about a wide range of events on the system. Therefore, you must scan
through the log file to find the messages that are relevant to DUPs.
Message Location
The default location of the message log files is /var/log/dell/updatepackage/log.
