Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.39 and 2.42 (not installed)
Severity: normal
trying to "apt-get -f install apt-listchanges" gives "E: Sorry, broken packages" on both
Versions 2.39 and 2.42, using a sarge system with some sid pkgs. Apt also says "apt-listchanges: Depends: python-apt but it is not going to be installed"
Trying to install python-apt 0.5.5.1 manually gives a "broken depency" error
on libapt-inst-libc6.3-5-1.0 and libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3. apt-cacche
policy then shows no Candidate for those two.

python-apt (and therefore apt-listchanges) are now now installable in
testing again.

Actually, that state has changed over the last few months: it used to be
something else that caused apt-listchanges to be uninstallable. The
problem is that once a package is uninstallable in testing, which
apt-listchanges was due to a complicated "greatest good for the greatest
number" situation a while back, the scripts that manage testing are
completely willing to break more of its dependencies and make it worse,
so it can be quite difficult to get it back.
apt-listchanges is now installable in sarge, and whichever bugs are open
about that alone (not this one) can be closed now.
Cheers,
