Title:
  Apt-listchanges issue with libdb4.6 created db

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt-listchanges

  The Debian maintainer is indicating this is a result of python
  downgrading the database stuff to only work with db stuff earlier than
  4.6, so I don't know if this currently is an issue when upgrading
  since it's been a known problem there in the lenny/sid stuff.

  In Hardy I was getting a message indicating the listchanges.db was
  corrupt.

  This is the part that bugs me.....

  Tried deleting the file so the db gets rebuilt, same thing.
  Tried purging apt-listchanges and re-installing same thing.

  Using synaptic and selecting libdb4.6 for removal so I would only have
  earlier versions installed results in a message that other packages
  will be removed, so I cancelled the operation.

  The only solution that worked was to install db4.6-util and db4.5-util
  then from the command line do:

  sudo db4.6_dump -f listchanges.db.dump /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
  sudo mv /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db.backup
  sudo db4.5_load -f listchanges.db.dump /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
