You have not mentioned which distro are you using. If those packages were
.deb and installed using synaptic (in Ubuntu) I think you can check out the
Synaptic log.

If they were installed using command line, you can always refer to history.
Try this:
history | less

OR

write the output to a file and then analyze the file:
history > hist.txt
