Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
In Maverick, the following would prompt the user *once* (for the root
password resulting from the initial 'sudo'):
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
Now, due to apt-listchanges, if any changelogs need to be downloaded,
apt will run until an admin manually pages through the changelog
entries. This appears to be due to apt-listchanges, specifically
/etc/apt/listchanges.conf which specifies:
frontend=pager
To avoid regressing the traditional behaviour, a fix would be to change
listchanges.conf to specify:
frontend=text
