Concretely, you can manually move aside the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges and try above apt command again. When apt is working again and you are done upgrading your system, then most likely a newer /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges has been installed and you can throw away the one you had put aside. If there is no such file installed, then I recommend to _not_ put your file back, but instead try "apt install --reinstall apt-listchanges" and see if that installs a fresh configfile. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
