>> LC_MESSAGES=C aptitude changelog ubuntu-base
E: ubuntu-base is not an official Debian package, cannot display its changelog.

I think this is supposed to work. Running aptitude and pressing "C" works, though

Fixed in the latest breezy version:

aptitude (0.2.15.9-3ubuntu6) breezy; urgency=low

   * src/cmdline/cmdline_changelog.cc:
     - make aptitude changelog work with ubuntu (ubuntu #15867)
   * src/generic/aptcache.cc, src/cmdline/cmdline_do_action.cc:
     - dist-upgrade ignores sticky-selections (other than "Install")
       now. this fixes a problem with held-back packages on dist-upgrade
       (ubuntu #15871)
