Re: apt-listbugs question

The recent flurry of discussion under "don't upgrade grub or grub-pc ! ...",

but ...
I can't figure out how to get apt-listbugs to work.
Can someone post an example of the use of apt-listbugs? I mean the actual text
of what one types to get something other than error messages from it.
Is a user supposed to run it from an xterm window? I don't have any tweeking of
the squeeze install, it is pretty much what one gets using the business-card
CD from December time frame. I do have a local proxy using approx that has been
working for many months.
