First of all, there's no need to remove apt-listbugs, if you want to (temporarily) disable its automatic invocation by apt and friends during package upgrade/installation. You can just add a "//" comment symbol at the beginning of the Pre-Install-Pkgs line in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs Anyway, unfortunately I cannot reproduce the bug: apt-listbugs is working correctly here, and I have never experienced any Timeout error.

Not necessarily: I get this NoMethodError myself, when I turn debug on, but otherwise apt-listbugs works fine for me. I think the key error is the following one: [...] > = Response > > Exception `#<Class:0x7fd115401918>' at /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:60 - > execution expired [...] which is not the same error as the one Martin Krafft (the original bug reporter) got. > -- System Information: > Debian Release: 5.0.3 > APT prefers stable > APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (970, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (90, > 'unstable') [...] By looking at your system information, I see that you have quite a mixed box (stable/testing/unstable): did you try to upgrade apt-listbugs dependencies to testing (especially libhttp-access2-ruby1.8 and libruby1.8)? Maybe it won't make the bug disappear, but I think it's worth trying... > Thanks for your work and help, You're welcome.
