using apt-listbugs

[Rick Reynolds <rick@rickandviv.net>]

I found out about apt-listbugs from this list -- thanks for that.  But 
I'm not sure that I'm using it correctly and/or have it configured 
correctly.

When I do an 'apt-get upgrade' (running testing) the command typically 
fills more than a screensworth while it downloads packages.  Then I see 
apt-listbugs running, but the crucial output -- the question that says 
"continue with these or not?" -- is always off my screen, below the 
bottom line.  I hit space to no avail, and when I hit return I find that 
I've just answered the default to the question ('YES install these').

This doesn't seem like very helpful behavior, so I'm guessing I either 
need to run apt-listbugs differently or that I need to tweak some kind 
of configuration for it.

A little more info: I typically follow this routine on the weekend to 
upgrade my laptop to the latest etch:

1. CTRL-ALT-F1 to drop to a virt console
2. '/etc/init.d/gdm stop' to exit X
3. 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade'

Maybe it's the fact that I'm running the upgrade from a virt console?

I'd appreciate a pointer or two.

Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
