I have never attempted to run apt-listbugs manually. It is typically automatically invoked during the install/upgrade process and queried for applicable bugs for the packages you are about to install/upgrade. If there are indeed serious or grave bugs that apply to one of these packags, you can choose to abort the installation altogether or pin selected packages to the version you have installed. While we are at it, another useful tool that is comparable to apt-listbugs is apt-listchanges, which will bring important changes to your attention. A quick look at the manpage reveals that you have to specify one of the supported commands. Let's try "list": $ apt-listbugs list apt/0.8.11.5 serious bugs of apt (0.8.11.5 -> 0.8.11.5) <unfixed> #558784 - apt: re-adds removed keys Summary: apt(1 bug) voilà! -- .''`.
