[Bug 1399582] Re: aptitude fails to fetch changelogs because of illformed URL request

[Patrick Olson]

Confirmed. Steps to reproduce:

1. Open terminal
2. Run "sudo aptitude" and give password if necessary
3. Press / to open search box.
4. type "glibc" and press enter
5. Press n for next search result until glibc-2.19-1 is displayed
6. Press enter
7. Press down arrow until "libc6 2.19-10ubuntu2.1" is highlighted
8. press C to view changelog

Repeated with another package (acpi-support), without using search, to
confirm it's not just the changelog for the package mentioned above.

Title:
  aptitude fails to fetch changelogs because of illformed URL request

Status in aptitude package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Exemple on tentatively fetching changelog for glibc :

  Aptitude requests silly URL "
  http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/main/g/glibc/glibc_2.19-10ubuntu2.1_changelog
  "

  Instead of the good URL "
  http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/g/glibc/glibc_2.19-10ubuntu2.1/changelog
  "

  Thus failing with a " 404 Not Found " error.

  Note: ~/.aptitude/config not badly customized, neither
  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/... nor /etc/apt.conf.d/...
