I made the mistake of accepting a dist-upgrade on Debian Wheezy yesterday (7 to 8) and now when I try to wake from suspend, my Thinkpad T520 laptop goes into a wake/suspend tight loop. Crap. Here's my log of undoing the damage.
The file /var/log/dpkg.log
has the history I need. The only lines of interest to me are ones involving upgrade
(because none of the upgrades required additions or removals), but your case may differ.
$ grep '2015-01-10 [^ ]* upgrade' /var/log/dpkg.log
2015-01-10 18:45:05 upgrade base-files:amd64 7.1wheezy7 7.1wheezy8
2015-01-10 18:45:10 upgrade libapt-pkg4.12:amd64 0.9.7.9+deb7u6 0.9.7.9+deb7u7
