That is not a valid value for "which".

In any case, it appears that with the versions in this upgrade there is
no new NEWS so there is nothing to display and subsequently prompt
about.  If you want to also display all entries from changelog and
changelog.debian, use:

 which=both

  See that it just said it read the changelogs and was done while I have
