Bug Description
Description of the problem:
Packages with 1: prefixing their version number have all of their changelog shown even though update-manager normally only shows the part of the changelog for versions of the package which are after the version currently installed.
Steps to reproduce:
1. On a yet to be updated dapper flight 5 do
dpkg -l capplets-data
see that the information returned is something like: capplets-data 2.14.1-0ubuntu7
2. sudo update-manager .
3. Make sure your updates list is up to date and click on capplets-data.
4. Ensure details are shown.
Expected results:
Changes tab to show entries from Version 1:2.14.1-0ubuntu8 .
Actual results:
Changes tab to showsentries from Version 1:1.2.2-1 .
Additional information:
This affects quite a few packages to e.g.
capplets-data
http://
gaim
http://
gnome-control-
http://
ntpdate

However there are some packages which display a : in the version number but do seem to truncate their changelog: changelogs. ubuntu. com/changelogs/ pool/main/ u/util- linux/util- linux_2. 12r-4ubun changelogs. ubuntu. com/changelogs/ pool/main/ g/gcc-4. 0/gcc-4. 0_4.0.3- 1ubuntu5/ c
