Hi,

    My guess was that some apt* config file setup by newvserver
    refers to missing apt-listbugs.

    Then either newvserver should install apt-listbugs, or not enable it
    in apt* config (probably the second one).
    
    Same could go for apt-listchanges, but in that case the error
    message is annoying but not blocking.

  Regards.
