Bug Description
If apt-listchanges is enabled, then update-manager just sits there with no
indication that it's waiting for input; you only realise what's going on when
you open the terminal.
Perhaps update-manager could bypass apt-listchanges somehow?

Thanks for your bugreport.
I have a patch for apt-listchanges that adds a gtk interfaces (bug #13225).
Another option would be to detects "reads on stdin" in the pty of the vte
terminal widget and expand it automatically. Unfortunately I have no idea how I
could detect that. Ideas are welcome here :)
Bypassing apt-listchanges on the apt level is not feasible as it installs itself Pre-InstallPkgs " and that is run deep inside the dpkgpm.cc code. A _NO_ACT" would be a another option (that a
to "DPkg::
enviroment variable "APTLISTCHANGES
changed apt-listchanges honors).
Cheers,
Michael
