Public bug reported:

As reported by Luke at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
release/2019-March/004738.html:

update-manager assumes that it can generate a Launchpad +changelog URL
from a binary package version, instead of mapping from the corresponding
source package version. In cases where these aren't the same, the URL
404s.

Luke's example is:

> "Changes for grub-efi-amd64-signed versions:
> Installed version: 1.66.20+2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.20
> Available version: 1.66.21+2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.21
> 
> The list of changes is not yet available.
> 
> Please use http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2-signed/1.66.21+2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.21/+changelog 
> until the changes become available or try again later."

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)

         Status: New
