Package: apt-listchanges Version: 2.89 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I am having this error while trying to update my system (this is actually observed running "apt autoremove"): Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 247, in <module> main(config) File "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges", line 157, in main frontend.progress_done() AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'progress_done' (Reading database ... 467204 files and directories currently installed.) On IRC, I got the following advice that's perhaps I good idea reporting: <nthykier> maker: With a quick glance of the apt-listchanges, it looks like a bug in the code. [T]hey have a "make_frontend" call that returns either a frontend or an empty list, but they don't seem to handle the empty list case (I guess they wanted "None" instead, which is handled). After this error, apt proceeds smoothly. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt-listchanges depends on: ii apt 1.2.10 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.59 ii debianutils 4.7 ii python-apt 1.1.0~beta2 pn python:any <none> ii ucf 3.0036 apt-listchanges recommends no packages.
