Too bad, there has been a misguided change to apt-listchanges recently: if you run "apt-get -y upgrade" (it's pointless to ask for confirmation twice, especially when you don't even yet know what you confirm), you _won't_ get shown the NEWS/changelogs (or rather, they'll be blown to stdout then hidden by further output, not giving you a chance to read them). This has apparently been due to confusion with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive. -- How to exploit the Bible for weight loss: Pr28:25: he that putteth his trust in the ʟᴏʀᴅ shall be made fat.
