Again, I hate to do this, but until we've figured this out, can the two of you please do me a favor? Before you run each apt upgrade, please save a backup copy of /var/lib/apt/listchanges, then if the problem happens during the upgrade, please send me the backup copy of the file as well as the new version of the same file that should have been modified during the upgrade. I think this must have something to do with what's in your seen database but I am unable to recreate a database that triggers the issue, so I think I need to see yours.

There's nothing private in the database, it's just package names, MD5 checksums of changelog entries, and timestamps, though I suppose if you have packages on your computer you don't want people to know you've installed then that's private. :shrug: Your call. If you don't want to post it in the bug you can email it to me privately and I certainly won't post it anywhere.

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help.
