Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

* Install apt-listchanges and configure
* Run Software Updater (or wait for automatic run)
* If there are no changes, no error occurs
* If there are changes, accept them
* Wait for download

What should happen:

* Once download is complete, apt-listchange output should appear (possibly asking for confirmation)
* Then installation of changes should continue

What happens instead:

* Once download is complete, error occurs when apt-listchange is called
* Installation continues successfully

Notes:

* My apt-listchanges config does *not* include asking for confirmation
* This works if I do an update from the command line using apt (apt-listchanges behaves as expected)
* Will post error message when problem recurs (next time I have a download)
