[Bug 1662550] Re: After LTS upgrade to 16.04, no more emails come from apt-listchanges

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apt-listchanges - 3.14

---------------
apt-listchanges (3.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add  `--no-network' option that can be used to disable calls to
    `apt-get changelog' (closes: #866583) and document it in the man page.
  * Rework handling of the LESS variable: instead of overriding it, detect
    if it contains harmful settings, and try to disable them by appending
    `-+E' or `-+F' options (closes: #867144).
  * Improve handling of configuration file by debconf-helper.py:
    + refactor the script and prepare for further changes;
    + increase priority of the `apt-listchanges/which' question to medium;
    + set the debconf's `seen' flag for items that already exist in the
      configuration file;
  * Add debconf support for the following configuration options:
    `--no-network', `--reverse' (closes: #707668), `--headers',
    and `--email-format'. Re-order the debconf questions.
  * Depend on python3-debconf (closes: #867126) and check if the debconf
    module can be successfully imported before running debconf-helper.py
    in debian/config.
  * Remove the `-k 60' option from po4a.cfg to disable generation of
    outdated Spanish and Italian man pages (closes: #842996).
  * Fix a typo in man page and unfuzzy translations.
  * Update README.Debian and the man page to make it clear that in the
    default installations only the NEWS entries are displayed during
    upgrades (LP: #1662550).
  * Update *.pot and .*.po files.
  * Update Polish translations.
  * Add debian/NEWS entry for the recent changes.

Title:
  After LTS upgrade to 16.04, no more emails come from apt-listchanges

Status in apt-listchanges package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  We recently LTS upgraded our first server from 14.04 to 16.04. After
  that upgrade, we are not seeing apt-listchanges attempt to send out
  emails with the change log.

  I have tried purging off package apt-listchanges, then reinstalled it.
  Shortly apticron notified us of updates available on the upgraded
  16.04 server, I applied them, and apt-listchanges still sent no email.

  More information, including output from both the 14.04 and 16.04
  systems located here:
