The last few lines say:-
+ read -r _db_internal_line
+ RET=news
+ case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in
+ return 0
+ echo which=news
+ ucf --debconf-ok /etc/apt/listchanges.conf.new /etc/apt/listchanges.conf
dpkg: error processing apt-listchanges (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
apt-listchanges
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Both /etc/apt/listchanges.conf and listchanges.conf.new exist,
listchanges.conf reads:-
[apt]
frontend=pager
email_address=david
confirm=1
save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
which=both
and listchanges.conf.new reads:-
[apt]
frontend=pager
email_address=david
confirm=1
save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
which=both
[apt]
frontend=pager
email_address=root
confirm=0
save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
which=both
Hope this helps.
David
