Try 'dpkg-reconfigure -p low apt-listchanges' and make sure to select
'both' for the question
  'Which types of changes should be displayed with apt?'
on the fourth screen.

Afterwards check your /etc/apt/listchanges.conf which should contain
something like:

[apt]
frontend=pager
email_address=root
confirm=1
save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
which=both
