Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.85.7
Severity: important

I have a cronjob that runs "aptitude clean" daily, I left the
interactive apt-listchanges dialog open during the run of this
cronjob, this is what happened:

    [.. dpkg continues to completely fail and not install packages ..]

So apt-listchanges sent out an E-Mail about the upgrade *before* it
was successful, meaning that the things it said had been upgraded
actually weren't.

Please only send an E-Mail after a successful upgrade.
