Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt-listchanges
The Debian maintainer is indicating this is a result of python
downgrading the database stuff to only work with db stuff earlier than
4.6, so I don't know if this currently is an issue when upgrading since
it's been a known problem there in the lenny/sid stuff.
In Hardy I was getting a message indicating the listchanges.db was
corrupt.
This is the part that bugs me.....
Tried deleting the file so the db gets rebuilt, same thing.
Tried purging apt-listchanges and re-installing same thing.
Using synaptic and selecting libdb4.6 for removal so I would only have
earlier versions installed results in a message that other packages will
be removed, so I cancelled the operation.
The only solution that worked was to install db4.6-util and db4.5-util
then from the command line do:
sudo db4.6_dump -f listchanges.db.dump /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
sudo mv /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db.backup
sudo db4.5_load -f listchanges.db.dump /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
