Bug Description

Exemple on tentatively fetching changelog for glibc :

Aptitude requests silly URL " http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/main/g/glibc/glibc_2.19-10ubuntu2.1_changelog "

Instead of the good URL " http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/g/glibc/glibc_2.19-10ubuntu2.1/changelog "

Thus failing with a " 404 Not Found " error.

Note: ~/.aptitude/config not badly customized, neither /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/... nor /etc/apt.conf.d/...

Confirmed. Steps to reproduce:

1. Open terminal
2. Run "sudo aptitude" and give password if necessary
3. Press / to open search box.
4. type "glibc" and press enter
5. Press n for next search result until glibc-2.19-1 is displayed
6. Press enter
7. Press down arrow until "libc6 2.19-10ubuntu2.1" is highlighted
8. press C to view changelog

Repeated with another package (acpi-support), without using search, to confirm it's not just the changelog for the package mentioned above.

Changed in aptitude (Ubuntu):
