[Bug 797232] Re: cant show changelog if not directly avaliable

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Thanks for your report. 
Could you please provide an example ? 
It should display the message with the lp url only if the changelog is not available  from changelogs.ubuntu.com.

Title:
  cant show changelog if not directly avaliable

Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  Oneiric i386

  I've seen several times this issues when checking for changelog before
  updating a package with synaptic:

  - check for package updates
  - select a package then click on "check for changelog" button ( into the bottom box describing the package);  here  we get two cases:
     a) the changelog is directly avaliable, so its displayed as expected
     b)  the changelog request fail because of "not yet avaliable": in fact it fails because it might use an url to get the changelog, but it cant.

  So these changelogs can be viewed using update-manager, but it would
  be nice that synaptic can perform it directly.
