Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 3.27
Severity: normal

Unfortunately, debian is unwilling to fix their bugs. I get the response
in 1057000: "Please report Devuan bugs to Devuan's bug tracker. Debian
cannot do technical support for derivative distributions."

After recent updates, apt-listchanges is somewhat broken:

So it seems that there is an incompatibility with some openssl updates.
