Bug Description
As reported by Luke at https:/
update-manager assumes that it can generate a Launchpad +changelog URL from a binary package version, instead of mapping from the corresponding source package version. In cases where these aren't the same, the URL 404s.
Luke's example is:
> "Changes for grub-efi-
> Installed version: 1.66.20+
> Available version: 1.66.21+
>
> The list of changes is not yet available.
>
> Please use http://
> until the changes become available or try again later."
This presumably affects Xenial since 1.66.21+ 2.02~beta2- 36ubuntu3. 21 is published in xenial-proposed only currently. The latest version of update-manager on Xenial at the moment is 1:16.04.15 from xenial-updates.
