Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.85.12
Severity: normal
apt-listchanges sometimes gives too many changes, with changelogs
for versions <= the one being installed. For instance:
xvii% apt-show-versions libaudit1
libaudit1:amd64/unstable 1:2.3.2-2 upgradeable to 1:2.3.2-3
xvii% apt-show-versions libaudit-common
libaudit-common:all/unstable 1:2.3.2-2 upgradeable to 1:2.3.2-3
# apt-get install libaudit1

apt-listchanges: Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
This gives the changelogs corresponding to:
audit (1:2.3.2-3) unstable; urgency=medium
audit (1:2.3.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
audit (1:2.3.2-1) experimental; urgency=low
audit (1:2.3.1-1) experimental; urgency=low
audit (1:2.3-1) experimental; urgency=low
audit (1:2.2.3-1) experimental; urgency=low
audit (1:2.2.2-1) experimental; urgency=low
audit (1:2.2.1-2) experimental; urgency=low
audit (1:2.2.1-1) experimental; urgency=low
except just the last one.
When I execute apt-listchanges manually:
apt-listchanges /var/cache/apt/archives/libaudit1_1%3a2.3.2-3_amd64.deb
apt-listchanges /var/cache/apt/archives/libaudit-common_1%3a2.3.2-3_all.deb
I don't have this problem, i.e. only the 1:2.3.2-3 changes are listed.
But if I add --profile=apt, the problem occurs again; but I need to
be root, otherwise I get the following error message:
database /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db failed to load.
even though /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db is readable by everyone
(perhaps locking is involved?).
If I add the --debug option to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges, I get:
