I believe that aptitude runs it automatically when installing /
upgrading packages- at least it does here, and I'm pretty sure that I
didn't have to set up anything manually.

These are common error messages. I'm not sure what they mean, but they
aren't relevant to your problem.

No. Read the man page - you don't seem to be invoking it correctly.
It needs a command; try
apt-listbugs list somepackage
I don't see that there's any way to tell it to list all bugs in any
