The interface (IIRC the soap one) to bugs.debian.org is down
currently.

Workaround?

,---- [ % grml-tips apt-listbugs ]
| Run apt-get but disable apt-listchanges:
|
| APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none apt-get ...
|
| Upgrade system but disable apt-listbugs:
|
| APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND=none apt-get ...
`----

Don't want to use apt-listbugs at all? (I personally love it.)

# apt-get --purge remove apt-listbugs
