will not show changes detail

[Martin Flack]

My update-manager in Dapper correctly notifies of updates and updates packages when I click "Install Updates".

However if I click "Show details", the Description tab will show text but the Changes tab will say briefly "Downloading the list of changes..." and then go blank. It stays blank and I can't see the changelog.

This happens on all packages, e.g. today's updates for gdm 2.14.7-0ubuntu1 and sound-juicer 2.14.4-0ubuntu1.

I've seen this on multiple networks, including one where a colleague could see the changes on his Dapper workstation and I could not, at the same time, so it's not an issue of something being blocked.

There is no error message through the GUI or in /var/log/messages. (Surely if this fails it should throw an exception with an explanation?)

This is a fresh Dapper installation. I'm in GNOME with mostly the settings that came with the system setup. My /etc/apt/sources.list is all default repositories.

Thanks.

Sorry, no it isn't, but I can confirm this.

Sorry, again it actually is a dupe.

Yes, it's a dupe, I just thought, if you have dialup connection, then it could blank for a while...
