Bug Description

For the last few weeks, update-manager fails to show the changes for new packages. Running it from a terminal, I see:

~ $ update-manager
/usr/bin/update-manager:28: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import Gtk
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManager/UnitySupport.py:29: PyGIWarning: Dbusmenu was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Dbusmenu', '0.4') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import Dbusmenu, Unity

  from gi.repository import Dbusmenu, Unity

    changelog = self._get_changelog_or_news(name, "changelog")

    "https locations with username/password are not"
UpdateManager.Core.MyCache.HttpsChangelogsUnsupportedError: https locations with username/password are notsupported to fetch changelogs

So, IDK exactly when the new version was pushed out, but that error's nicely self-diagnosed at least: good job! :)
