Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: aptitude
Upgrading jaunty, but I have seen this in all releases of Ubuntu.
90% of available updates fail to retrieve a changelog when "C" is
pressed. They exist, since I can read them in /usr/share/doc after
installation. It is important to know what changes are made before
upgrading. I know update-manager provides a link in this case. I don't
propose this as a solution, though, since a typical sys admin would not
want to be messing around with links2 and a launchpad link when he/she
just needs a few characters plain text to describe a change.
To reproduce:
1) wait until updates are available
2) select an upgradable package
3) press "C" to retrieve changelog
4 expected) changelog displayed
5) actual, in most cases) changelog not found.
** Affects: aptitude (Ubuntu)
