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 upgrade/installation by apt in order to check
whether the upgrade/installation 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 before apt to see if an upgrade or installation is
known to be unsafe.

Dear shirish शिरीष,
thanks for your bug report!

I'll add a Homepage field pointing to the alioth project page:
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/apt-listbugs/

I don't have time to set up a separate web page with additional
documentation.

If you want to find out more about apt-listbugs, please read its
README.Debian file:
/usr/share/doc/apt-listbugs/README.Debian.gz
or, via gitweb (please note that the HEAD is the development version,
and may therefore be more up-to-date than what you'll find in the
package version in Debian unstable at a given point in time):
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p...an;hb=HEAD

I hope this clarifies.
Bye.
