not sure whether it is what I am looking for. At least
I can't get apt-listchanges to do what I want. From
the documentation I guess that I have to write something like
apt-get -s install nessus | apt-listchanges --apt
but I could be incredibly wrong with this guess (no examples
in documentation, no hints about "pipelines" in apt-get
documentation).
However, no examples given in the man page for apt-listchanges.
Perhaps I should ask the maintainers of that package
how to apply the tool for my specific need.
