Is this with any package, with some packages, or with one particular package (and in the last case: which)? Did you always got this error with certain packages, or did it recently start to pop up (and then: since when, after what change in your system?) On my laptop I have no apt-listchanges in /usr/bin/ no apt-listchanges.py in /usr/lib/site-python/ but apt-get does its job so these two files apparently are not essential parts of my apt 0.5.4. Therefore, I wonder what package other than apt they might belong to and why they were called. So: - which version of apt are you using? To find out, do $ dpkg -s apt - which package do /usr/bin/apt-listchanges and /usr/lib/site-python/apt-listchanges.py belong to? To find out, do $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/apt-listchanges /usr/lib/site-python/apt-listchanges.py But, you are probably helped most quickly by someone who understands what > AttributeError: DebianControlStanza instance has no attribute 'Package' really means.
