I believe I tracked the error to lines 242-243 in MyCache.py: res = urlsplit(uri) if res.scheme == "https" and res.username != "": Documentation for 'urlsplit()' indicates res.username should return a 'None' object, not a empty string. I believe changing the scheme to "https" revealed this bug. The following works properly: if res.scheme == "https" and res.username is not None: ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851098 Title: no changelogs shown after version 1:16.04.16 update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1851098/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
