Package: apt-listchanges Version: 2.86 Severity: normal Hi! Since the last upload, apt-listchanges just blasts all new changelog entries to the terminal instead of feeding them to a pager. If none of newly upgraded packages uses debconf or something full-screen and the amount of changes is smaller than your scrollback length that output might still be present in the scrollback, but that doesn't allow reading them beforehand.
I guess this is what "text" does which is a distinct option than "pager", and not what I configured. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.5-x32 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages apt-listchanges depends on: ii apt 1.2.7 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.59 ii debianutils 4.7 ii python-apt 1.1.0~beta2 pn python:any <none> ii ucf 3.0036 apt-listchanges recommends no packages.
