Title:
  apt-listchanges crashed with AttributeError in __init__()

Status in “apt-listchanges” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt-listchanges

  This is same/similar to bug #115001 although AFAIK apt-listchanges is
  supposed to do a diff of the new & the old .debs

  I have tried all the following

  
  sudo apt-listchanges ipe 6.0pre30-2ubuntu1_i386.deb ipe 6.0pre30-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

  as well as

  sudo apt-listchanges ipe 6.0pre30-2ubuntu1 ipe 6.0pre30-1ubuntu1

  but without any success :(
