Title:
  Bad default installation harms Update Manager

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

Bug description:
  Since I installed apt-listchanges, when I run update-manager, update-
  manager seems to hang (pause without end) displaying its "Applying
  changes" window.

  When I opened the "Details", I was shown a single line of text "(END)
  /tmp/<randomname>".

  After expanding the window, I found it was apt-listchange's output,
  put through apt-listchange's pager, which was waiting for my input.

  This violates the Principle of Least Surprise.

  Prior to my installation of apt-listchanges, update-manager ran
  without any keyboard input, after installing apt-listchanges, update-
  manager does not.
