Title:
  behaviour regression due to apt-listchanges

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  In Maverick, the following would prompt the user *once* (for the root
  password resulting from the initial 'sudo'):

  $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade

  Now, due to apt-listchanges, if any changelogs need to be downloaded,
  apt will not complete until an admin manually pages through the
  changelog entries. This appears to be due to apt-listchanges,
  specifically /etc/apt/listchanges.conf which specifies:

    frontend=pager

  To avoid regressing the traditional behaviour, a fix would be to
  change listchanges.conf to specify:

    frontend=text
