This sounds wrong to me: the option -y is "assume-yes" rather than "noninteractive". Thus, I believe that if someone wants apt-listchanges to somehow ignore explicitely set frontend, it should be a distinct option from commonly used -y. > Is this explanation OK to you, may I close the bug report? What about having a setting for apt-listchanges instead of piggybacking on a mostly unrelated apt-get option? As of 2.86, there's no way to assume-yes on apt while having apt-listchanges obey the frontend. -- A tit a day keeps the vet away.
