Package: apt-listchanges Version: 3.9 Severity: normal User: de...@kali.org Usertags: origin-kali
In Kali I got a weird report of apt-listchanges failing in its postinst (https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=3799): Setting up apt-listchanges (3.7) ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/tmp.sYXSE6PAKn.aptlc/debconf-helper.py", line 6, in <module> import debconf ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'debconf' dpkg: error processing package apt-listchanges (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 While investigating, I discovered that the "debconf" Python module is provided by "debconf" but not by "cdebconf" and thus your generic dependency "debconf | debconf-2.0" is not suitable because it does not ensure that you get the python module that you need. You should replace it with a plain "debconf".
