I must admit I just looked where /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.3.11
comes from, and what dependencies apt-listchanges has.

Please try simply renaming /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.3.11 to
something else:

------------SNIPP------------
$ apt-listchanges
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 27, in ?
    import apt_pkg
ImportError: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6.so.3.11: cannot open shared object file: No 
such file or directory
------------SNIPP------------

This looks quite similar to the message I got on commands like "apt-get -u
install ...". However, this may not be the *exact* message -- since apt
itself no longer is v0.5.14 on my system, I cannot reproduce the exact
situation.

Hmm, sounds plausible. I don't have any clue of apt internals, I am
just a dumb user. :)

I am sorry I cannot be of much help here. Since upgrading from apt-0.5.14
to current apt last week nothing similar has happened (as should be
expected, since the above lib missing in old apt-0.5.14 is installed by
now), and the old error messages are lost in time.


Greetings,

Jochen.
