Dear all,

Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...] n

E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt returned an error code (10)
E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt


I tried to see if another version is in experimental or something but
saw nothing -

$ apt-cache policy libyaml-libyaml-perl
libyaml-libyaml-perl:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.72+repack-1
  Version table:
     0.72+repack-1 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages
        100 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages


Then tried to see if a transition slot  has been asked for but
couldn't  find anything at least  in the list -

https://release.debian.org/transitions/

AIUI , we use transitions to add breaks against old versions and
rebuild packages with new package versions etc.

Looking forward to know as and when this is resolved.
