 That's not particularly helpful.  Consider my situation:

Again, the answer to your problem lies in the bug tracking system, and this

In apt 0.5.5+ this should no longer be a problem.  You can also work around

 guarantee it will work because it seems as though apt thinks
 apt-listchanges is still installed.

This is a matter of configuration files; try purging apt-listchanges,
and if that doesn't work remove /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges
yourself.

  Have you tried dpkg --remove apt-listchanges or
dpkg --purge apt-listchanges?
