Subject: apt-listbugs

I didn't see Debian's apt-listbugs in raa or rubyforge so it was kinda 
neat to find out it uses ruby.  If you use Debian and Ruby, you might be 
interested in taking a look at the code.

apt-listbugs is written and maintained by Masato Taruishi.

Description:

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.
