Package: apticron Version: 1.2.7 Severity: wishlist I would argue that apticron should default to apt-listchanges showing news rather than changelog entries just like apt does.
I suppose this would happen automatically if bug 1052514 were fixed as I propose, i.e., if news were made the default in apt-listchanges. Whether or not that happens, though, I believe apticron and apt should be consistent by default. I don't know if this is feasible, but I'd argue that the ideal behavior would be for apticron to use the "apticron" apt-listchanges profile if it exists, or the "apt" profile otherwise. If there is interest in this I could try to put together a patch. However, considering that apticron bugs I submitted two and a half years ago with patches (bug 985794, bug 985795) haven't had any activity, perhaps this package is not being actively maintained? Would it help if I offered to help with maintaining the package? -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.4.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages apticron depends on: ii apt 2.7.3 ii bzip2 1.0.8-5+b1 ii cron [cron-daemon] 3.0pl1-175 ii dpkg 1.22.0 ii mailutils [mailx] 1:3.16-1+b1 ii ucf 3.0043+nmu1 Versions of packages apticron recommends: ii apt-listchanges 3.27 ii gpg 2.2.40-1.1 ii iproute2 6.5.0-4 apticron suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
