I'm amazed that this bug has persisted so long. apt-listchanges is a useful add-on, but if it breaks major functionality (ie update-manager) and there's no energy to fix it, then apt-listchanges should be removed from the repositories.
I'm affected by this bug. I'm running oneiric. I've confirmed that setting APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none in the environment on the comand line before running apt-listchanges correctly inhibits the display. I've also confirmed that the APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND variable is not is not in the environement of the pager in the details panel. I found it interesting, and a little disturbing that I could get a root shell from the pager in this situation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787802 Title: Update Manager hangs waiting for response to apt-listchanges hidden under Details To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-listchanges/+bug/787802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
