Public bug reported:
Since upgrading to Natty, kpackagekit hangs indefinitely from time to
time when installing updates. A quick check revealed that it is waiting
for a pager process running in the background, which has been triggered
by apt-listchanges:
root 11376 0.2 0.6 227140 56128 ? Sl 11:14 0:01
/usr/lib/packagekit/packagekitd

root 11618 0.0 0.0 8648 684 pts/3 S+ 11:16 0:00 pager
/tmp/tmp2g9Idx
As it is impossible to interact with that process due to the lack of an
associated console, kpackagekit will just sit arond and wait forever.
