In the lookup test "foo" was used, which did not trigger the DBRunRecoveryError.
But using "foo%0" does, which the attached patch provides. There's still the "Exception ..." line printed though. I don't know, why that's the case: $ sudo apt-listchanges --save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db system-config-printer_0.7.75+svn1653-0ubuntu2_all.deb Recreating database /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db, because it failed to load.
