Changelogs not visible for recent updates

[Sam]

Hi,

This bug affects Ubuntu 10.04 and LinuxMint 9, and is related to bug 1006189 which affects net-snmp. This is a separate bug report since Launchpad only allows one package name to be attached to each bug. However this bug really affects the update process within Ubuntu itself but Launchpad complained when I tried to open it that way [without specifying a package].

I normally read the changelogs for packages when updates are available.

For example, the aptitude ncurses interface lets you do this by typing a "C" (or on a command line via "aptitude changelog <package_name>" such as "aptitude changelog openssl").

But the changelogs for the recent openssl and other updates don't seem to have been loaded on the repos. I.E., you get:

E: Couldn't fetch URL http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.13/changelog

because the changelog for that update (and for others, such as python-libxml2, snmp, etc., which also had recent updates) aren't on the server.

This appears to be an issue just for the recent updates. Older changelogs (including ones for libxml2 and openssl) can be fetched with no problems if you select the older versions of those packages within aptitude.

See bug 1012475 affecting change logs (aptitude changelogs) for apparmor, which is related

Also see bug 1012478 which was reported against aptitude.

Not true. Click "Also affects distribution" link on the top of the bugreport, type or search for a different package name and save. This creates another task for a different package.

Same issue, affecting multiple packages is always tracked like this.

See for example:

As for your report it's a know problem. Hence I'm going to mark this and other reports of yours as duplicates of:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1005985

Thanks very much Dmitrij. I will use that method in the future
