Package: apt Version: 3.0.3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, When running `apt upgrade', `apt-listchanges' is run after packages are downloaded and before they are actually upgraded. The downloading phase can be quite long, especially when upgrading from one major Debian version to the next and I may attend to other things during that time, and when I come back, I found the upgrade was stuck in displaying the news from packages by `apt-listchanges', and after quitting, I'll have to wait another long time until the upgrades finish. As `apt-listchanges' just displays the news from packages, and does not offer a way to stop or postpone package upgrades, I wonder whether it would be possible to run it after packages are upgraded, so that people like me won't be surprised that we'll have to wait for another long time. I know there are unattended upgrade options, but for upgrading from one major version to the next, it would be better to monitor the process somehow which would benefit more from this since the process can be quite long. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.48+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.152 ii base-passwd 3.6.7 ii debian-archive-keyring 2025.1 ii libapt-pkg7.0 3.0.3 ii libc6 2.41-12 ii libgcc-s1 14.2.0-19 ii libseccomp2 2.6.0-2 ii libssl3t64 3.5.1-1+deb13u1 ii libstdc++6 14.2.0-19 ii libsystemd0 257.8-1~deb13u2 ii sqv 1.3.0-3 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii ca-certificates 20250419 Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> ii aptitude 0.8.13-7 ii dpkg-dev 1.22.21 ii gnupg 2.4.7-21 pn powermgmt-base <none> ii synaptic 0.91.7 -- no debconf information -- Regards, Xiyue Deng
