By the way: the above is not an error. It is simply the output of
apt-listbugs which you are free to ignore. Apt-listbugs only shows
current important bugreports against the packages you are trying to
install. These bugs may or may not be relevant to you.

If you don't know what to do with that information, just uninstall
apt-listbugs.

What you did was to disable apt-listbugs without removing it completely.
This does nothing to solve the bug that apt-listbugs showed to you. It
just prevented the bugreport from being shown during installation.

You might be even more surprised about the number of release-critical
bugs in stable. :)
