This doesn't look like an apt-listchanges bug. Perhaps python, or libdb.

You imply that it works when you run it outside of aptitude, though. This
implies that something about aptitude is triggering the problem. Since
apt-listchanges has not changed significantly in some time, perhaps a recent
change in aptitude caused this. Reassigning there for further
investigation.

~/.aptitude/config and the output of "apt-config dump" to the bug report
so I can try to reproduce your environment.

  Personally, I think aptitude probably has nothing to do with this, but
I want to verify that before I lob this RC bug to someone else.

I think this is a plain Python-related error. Maybe, of course, it only

  As expected, I can't reproduce this. I'm handing it to the Python
people to see if they have a better idea what's causing this (it looks
like either a Python bug or a listchanges bug to me).

Yes, but under what circumstances does it fail? The fact is that I have never

I couldn't reproduce this as well. And looking at the apt-listchanges code I
cannot see the 'n' flag used. The bsddb tests are not enabled in the build warty
uses.
