[Bug 995195] Re: apt-listchanges causes update-manager to appear to hang

[Lars Düsing]

best solution would be: let apt-listchanges test if there is a terminal or not. 
Should apt-listchanges added to this bug-report?

Title:
  apt-listchanges causes update-manager to appear to hang

Status in “apt-listchanges” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If apt-listchanges is configured to show package changelogs, update-
  manager displays them in 'less' in a hidden terminal which waits for
  the user to quit and continue.  There is no indication in update-
  manager that something off-screen is waiting for input.  The only
  status message reads "Applying changes".

  To continue, the user must click 'Details' then interact with apt-
  listchanges in the terminal.

  Screenshots attached.
