Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: adept

Having the package "apt-listchanges" installed causes, by default, apt-
get and other APT front-ends (including Adept) to ask for confirmation
before applying the updates, after the changelog has been shown to the
user.

In Adept's updater, however, this question is presented just like it is
in apt-get: by means of a "[Y/n]" question in the console. The console,
in Adept, isn't visible unless one clicks on "Show details", so the
user's perception is that Adept has locked up.

A work-around might be to watch the console for the text "[Y/n]?" (or
"[y/N]?", and all localized versions of it...) and present a dialog box
when a line in the output matches it.
