[Bug 523714] Re: update-manager shows no changelog for various packages

[zigi]

Hi,

    A few days ago the server was unavailable changelogs.ubuntu.com.
Since this time no changelogs are available again for new versions of
packages. This problem affects at least the development version of
Ubuntu - Oneiric.

Title:
  update-manager shows no changelog for various packages

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Certain packages never show changelog items in update-manager. These
  packages also do not show changelogs on changelogs.ubuntu.com although
  the changelogs are on Launchpad (e.g.
  https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/1.15.5.6ubuntu1/+changelog)

  [TEST CASE]
  =============
  1. Install lucid
  2. Open update-manager and verify that no changelogs are displayed for the affected packages (see list in "Notes" section below
  3. Open changelogs.ubuntu.com & verify that the changelogs are not displayed for the version in lucid (e.g http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.15.5.6ubuntu1/)
  4. Verify that the changelogs are on Launchpad (e.g https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/1.15.5.6ubuntu1/+changelog)

  [Current Result]
  =============
  There are no changelogs for the latest versions of the affected packages on changelogs.ubuntu.com
  Update Manager displays "The list of changes is not available yet. Please try again later."

  [Expected Result]
  =============
  Changelogs for the latest versions of the affected packages should appear on changelogs.ubuntu.com
  The "changes" tab in Update Manager should display a changelog of changes for the latest versions of the affected packages

  [Work Around]
  =============
  View the changelogs in Launchpad by navigating to the project's main Launchpad page (e.g. https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/) & clicking the "view full changelog" link.

  [Notes]
  =============
  This appears to only affect lucid packages.
