I think it would be a good idea to have this handled by apt-listchanges, apt-get or aptitude. For apt-listchanges, this could be implemented by having a command line option that lists all changes for all packages that can be found in /var/cache/apt/archives. For apt-get and aptitude, I suspect that this would need to be configuratble somewhere in the apt configuration (maybe even in a library so that a single change cares for apt-get and aptitude respectively), but I do not have enough clue to judge that. The idea is to call apt-listchanges even if apt-get/aptitude were called with --download-only. I am cloning this bug to apt-listchanges, apt and aptitude. Maintainers of these packages, please feel free to close your instance of your bug if you find the fix inappopriate for your package. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
