Btw this also happens when there are huge number of changelogs then only one pager window is opened and it does not have full content as should be . -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Perre, Well, apt-listchanges tries to start a new window each time, and reuse them not. So I don't understand how this is an apt-listchanges bug. thank you for getting back again and being so patient. So are you saying its a gnome-terminal issue or what? In case, yes could you tell/recommend me what I should put up where I have put frontend=xterm-pager so I am able to do my thing. Looking forward to suggestions on the same. Even if it means changing my xterm-pager to something which works the way I want it. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If there is something specific you want me to try please lemme know, would do the same but you would have to be explicit as I'm just a baby as far as debian/ubuntu is concerned. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Pierre, I know that there is a command called less which has invocation like ls -l /var/log/ |less which allows me to go back and forth and see the listing but dunno what do you mean by less pager (no idea) If you mean if I tried to scroll the window with the changelogs to see if there are more then yes.

This is reproducible if you are upgrading or updating substantial amount of packages.

Bug#502172: apt-listchanges doesn't work if an existing apt-listchanges window is open
Hi Pierre, Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. The issue is like this. I do an upgrade and apt-listchanges shows me a changelog of one or more packages. It asks me if its ok to proceed and I answer in the positive. The apt-get/aptitude cycle is complete although the terminal window which shows the changelog is still open. I do another cycle of apt-get or aptitude upgrade and it again tries to show me the changelog Now somehow because the earlierwindow is already there which has changelogs of the last cycle, (use-case perhaps I'm still reading it or forgot to close it or didn't read it whichever way) it skips showing me the changelog. Ideally it should show/spawn another window (atleast IMHO) lemme know what do you think? -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
