Well, since #495329 directly mentions the 2008 discussion, which starts by talking about aptitude and a new version of some package, I suppose that it is exactly the same bug (when I initially reported the bug, this was the case of tcc, which became available a few hours earlier). I typically asks changelogs (in aptitude) for some packages proposed for upgrade, so if changelogs are not available as soon as the package is proposed by aptitude, this problem is likely to occur quite often. Now, I'm not sure whether this can be seen as a bug in the Debian WWW infrastructure (for the benefit of the user and applications like aptitude) or as a bug in aptitude, which could obtain the changelog in some other way (without downloading the full package), as suggested in the 2008 discussion (if I've understood correctly): http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/05/msg01057.html "In my experience, packages.qa.debian.org/package is usually quite quick to have the latest changelog, in form of the changes file. The rest of the changelog should be available via packages.debian.org." -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-www-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
