Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
In Maverick, the following would prompt the user *once* (for the root password resulting from the initial 'sudo'):
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
Now, due to apt-listchanges, if any changelogs need to be downloaded, apt will not complete until an admin manually pages through the changelog entries. This appears to be due to apt-listchanges, specifically /etc/apt/
frontend=pager
To avoid regressing the traditional behaviour, a fix would be to change listchanges.conf to specify:
frontend=text

I don't see what apt has to do with apt-listchanges
