Package: apt-listbugs, packagekit
Severity: serious
On a system with both packagekit and apt-listbugs installed,
apt-listbugs will block installations made by packagekit, and simply
hang around waiting for input it seems.
This bug is release-critical, as installing apt-listbugs renders
packagekit unusable (you can't install or upgrade anymore). Just like
606025, this blocks any adoption of PackageKit as default.
Proposed solution: apt-listbugs should not wait for input when started
under PackageKit.

This wishlist bug does not seem to have received much interest from its
original submitter, or other involved people, for quite some time.
Additional information was requested, but none has been provided.
I am closing the bug report with this message: if anyone is still
interested in seeing apt-listbugs work well with packagekit, please
don't hesitate to reopen the bug and provide additional information.
Bye.
