Again, the answer to your problem lies in the bug tracking system, and this
time, the bug is already fixed:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=89830&archive=yes
In apt 0.5.5+ this should no longer be a problem. You can also work around
this by purging apt-listchanges, instead of just removing it.
