[Bug 1662550] Re: After LTS upgrade to 16.04, no more emails come from apt-listchanges

[Michael Lueck]

All right, stepping way back. The original purpose of apt-listchanges
was to receive email notifications of changes applied to nodes. Both LTS
upgrades arriving at, and new installations of, Ubuntu 16.04 send no
notifications when updates are applied to systems.

So as of 16.04, are you saying that one needs to both install the apt-
listchanges packages AND use 'dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges' command
to change that by selecting "both" for the 4th question. That by itself,
installing the apt-listchanges packages is no longer sufficient? That
with the 16.04 version of the apt-listchanges package it is intentional
for it to do nothing until 'dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges' has been
run? I say it is very odd / unintuitive if that be the direction.

Title:
  After LTS upgrade to 16.04, no more emails come from apt-listchanges

Status in apt-listchanges package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  We recently LTS upgraded our first server from 14.04 to 16.04. After
  that upgrade, we are not seeing apt-listchanges attempt to send out
  emails with the change log.

  I have tried purging off package apt-listchanges, then reinstalled it.
  Shortly apticron notified us of updates available on the upgraded
  16.04 server, I applied them, and apt-listchanges still sent no email.

  More information, including output from both the 14.04 and 16.04
  systems located here:
