I indeed have installed the package:
apt-listbugs 0.0.48 Lists critical bugs before each apt
installa
So the correct way to state my problem is:
When apt-listbugs detects corrupted information when it tries to
retrieve the critical bugs list, it does not allow aptitude to proceed
with installation - WITHOUT giving the user the option to proceed
anyway.
Whomever is dealing with the bug - please check all dpkg pre-hooks,
post-hooks or whatever - and ensure that they allow the user to proceed
with installation in spite of errors if and when it makes sense.
