The former went well, but when I tried to upgrade the 22 updated packages, the upgrade proceedure terminated with: Reading changelogs ... done apt (0.7.26~exp3) experimental; urgency=low * apt-ftparchive now reads the standard configuration files in /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d and after some more lines ends with /tmp/tmpXXXX (END)Sounds like your have apt-listchanges installed, and it is showing you the new Changelog entries. These are longer than one screen, so it has written them to a temporary file and is displaying them via less."q" should quit less.Most likely apt-listchanges uses $PAGER, so if you are setting this variable to a command other than less, check the documentation for that command.
On Squeeze it now looks like apt-listchanges is a default install, I removed it and aptitude is trying to install it again, we'll probably be seeing a lot of WTF questions.
