[Bug 793628] Re: incorrectly hangs waiting for user confirmation

[ilf]

And again. This time the first apticron process seems to spawn a
"kworker" just hanging there.

Title:
  incorrectly hangs waiting for user confirmation

Status in “apt-listchanges” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt-listchanges

  I call apt-listchanges 2.85.6ubuntu1 from apticron 1.1.45.

  Since the Upgrade to Natty, it just hung there for the second time, spawning the pager and apparently waiting for user input.
  It should not do that, since I specified both frontend=text and confirm=0 in the config:

  % cat /etc/apt/listchanges.conf
  [apt]
  frontend=text
  email_address=
  confirm=0
  save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
  which=both
