Steps to reproduce
Generate snapshots using pacback hook over the course of at least 2 system updates which contain package version changes.
Run pacback --info ss1.
Run pacback --diff ss0 ss1.
Expected behavior
I expect some way for pacback to tell me which packages' versions changed between compared snapshots.
Observed behavior
Pacback tells me nothing changed between compared snapshots except for packages which were installed or removed. I see only "NONE" in the "Changed Since Creation" column.
Screenshots
Additional context
I browsed the help with --help and couldn't find any way to see what package versions pacback is tracking, so this is not necessarily just about these 2 command-line arguments, but pacback's output in general. If this information should be in some other command-line argument instead, consider this bug report to be discussing the existence and/or discoverability of that command-line argument.
