Package: apt-listbugs

Description: tool which lists critical bugs before each APT installation
apt-listbugs is a tool which retrieves bug reports from the Debian Bug Tracking System and lists them. Especially, it is intended to be invoked before each installation/upgrade by APT in order to check whether the installation/upgrade is safe.
Many developers and users prefer the unstable version of Debian for its new features and packages. APT, the usual upgrade tool, can break your system by installing a buggy package.
apt-listbugs lists critical bug reports from the Debian Bug Tracking System. Run it from within the APT session, in order to see whether an installation or upgrade is known to be unsafe.
