Severity: important
tglase@tglase:~ $ cat /etc/apt/listchanges.conf
[apt]
frontend=mail
email_address=root
confirm=0
save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
which=both
This is now broken because of:
if config.frontend == 'none':
sys.exit(0)
+ # Force quiet (loggable) mode if not running interactively
+ if not sys.stdout.isatty() and not config.quiet:
+ config.quiet = 1
# If apt is in quiet (loggable) mode, we should make our output
# loggable too
if config.quiet == 1:
config.frontend = 'text'
elif config.quiet >= 2:
config.frontend = 'mail'
Setting “quiet” in order to use the “mail” frontend was never
documented as being necessary (and I don’t see why, given that
it’s the other way round, that the frontend can be set by quiet,
and it’s usually not a good idea to require two knobs to be
changed at the same time to achieve one change).
So please don’t override my mail frontend, thank you very much.
