I think that is your actual problem. Something is broken with (your)
apt-listchanges. Apt-listchanges is a hook run before installing
packages and if any hook fails the installation is aborted. Try removing
that temporary from your apt.conf.

The installation was aborted but apt-get tries to be nice and configure
the packages that are unconfigured. Unfortunately the versions you do
already have unpacked on your system have the wrong versions so
configuring fails.
