In that case, debconf is also doing the wrong thing with its || true. That means that both programs will need either a wrapper script, or some ugly magic like "apt-listchanges --apt || (test $? -ne 10 && cat)" and "dpkg-preconfigure --apt || cat". Since all of the programs using this interface so far should be ignored if they fail, perhaps that should be the default behavior? -- - mdz
