Package: apt-listchanges Version: 3.5 Severity: normal Normally, I'm using de_AT.UTF-8. For reporting a bug I set "export LC_ALL=C", but on the next apt-get invocations I get error messages:
$ apt-get install -t experimental rakudo ... Fetched 4146 kB in 2s (1434 kB/s) apt-listchanges: Lese Changelogs...

(never mind the single German line in there ;) Happens independent of the package to be installed; I've had that when upgrading apt-listchanges to experimental, for rakudo, and a few other installations. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt-listchanges depends on: ii apt 1.3.1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.59 ii debianutils 4.8 ii python3-apt 1.1.0~beta5 pn python3:any <none> ii ucf 3.0036 apt-listchanges recommends no packages.
