Package: apt-listchanges Version: 3.14 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, First of all thank you for maintaining apt-listchanges as long as you have. I know that you have made some changes so users can either explicitly use it to call the network or have -no-network although do not know for which use-case that option has been given ? In some runs I have seen it hangs, for e.g. the ongoing run - $ sudo aptitude install appstream ca-certificates ca-certificates-java cdparanoia devscripts flatpak fonts-alee gnome-keyring gnuplot gnuplot-data gnuplot-qt libappstream4 libbasicusageenvironment1 libbuild-helper-maven-plugin-java libcdparanoia0 libdleyna-core-1.0-3 libeclipse-aether-java libesd0 libflatpak0 libgroupsock8 liblivemedia58 libmaven-archiver-java libmaven-common-artifact-filters-java libmaven-dependency-analyzer-java libmaven-file-management-java libmaven-repository-builder-java libmaven-shared-io-java libmaven-source-plugin-java libnss-myhostname libostree-1-1 libp11-kit0 libpam-gnome-keyring libplexus-io-java libplexus-utils2-java libsurefire-java libudev-dev libudev1 libusageenvironment3 mutt p11-kit p11-kit-modules pristine-tar python-click python-idna python-rope python3-click python3-idna ruby-json ruby-pkg-config udev virt-manager virtinst xkb-data -y The following NEW packages will be installed: libnotmuch5{a} The following packages will be REMOVED: libnotmuch4{u} The following packages will be upgraded: appstream ca-certificates ca-certificates-java cdparanoia devscripts flatpak fonts-alee gnome-keyring gnuplot gnuplot-data gnuplot-qt libappstream4 libbasicusageenvironment1 libbuild-helper-maven-plugin-java libcdparanoia0 libdleyna-core-1.0-3 libeclipse-aether-java libesd0 libflatpak0 libgroupsock8 liblivemedia58 libmaven-archiver-java libmaven-common-artifact-filters-java libmaven-dependency-analyzer-java libmaven-file-management-java libmaven-repository-builder-java libmaven-shared-io-java libmaven-source-plugin-java libnss-myhostname libostree-1-1 libp11-kit0 libpam-gnome-keyring libplexus-io-java libplexus-utils2-java libsurefire-java libudev-dev libudev1 libusageenvironment3 mutt p11-kit p11-kit-modules pristine-tar python-click python-idna python-rope python3-click python3-idna ruby-json ruby-pkg-config udev virt-manager virtinst xkb-data 53 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

It should not hang indefinitely. It should give a timeout and ask whether we want to try again or something which was the behavior before IIRC. On another run many a times, the changelog would be downloaded and displayed. Another thing which seems to be missing is percentage of how much of the changelog is downloaded and at which speed which again IIRC was the norm before. Looking forward to seeing both the functionalities in apt-listchanges again. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.11.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IN.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IN.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IN.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IN.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt-listchanges depends on: ii apt 1.5~beta1 ii debconf 1.5.63 ii debianutils 4.8.1.1 ii python3 3.5.3-3 ii python3-apt 1.4.0~beta3+b1 pn python3-debconf <none> ii ucf 3.0036 apt-listchanges recommends no packages.

Since release 3.12 of apt-listchanges it has enforced a two-minute timeout on downloads so believe this issue is resolved, so I'm closing it. Please open a new ticket if you see it again.
