All,

 I'm chasing problems in Thunderbird and wanted to parse zypper.log (yes I could use the rpmdb), and wanted to know if there was a parse already written or whether is just one for awk (and xzcat for the compressed files)?

 awk and xzcat work fine, but if there is already a tool, I'd rather not reinvent another wheel.

 For when installed, e.g., something ike:

 Which you can produce with, e.g.

# xzcat /var/log/zypper.log-20240918.xz | awk '/[Tt]hunderbird/ && $5 == "[Progress++]" { p=sub(/}/,"",$(NF-1)); print $1, $2, $(NF-1), $NF }'
