Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
if i do this to add a new .deb source and install some packages: sudo bash <<EOF echo deb http://software.jessies.org/debian/ ./ >> /etc/apt/sources.list EOF wget -O - http://software.jessies.org/debian/software.jessies.org.gpg | sudo apt-key add - sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install ~norg.jessies. when "Software Updates" finds updates, it always says: The list of changes is not available yet. Please try again later. wondering what i needed to fix on the server to stop this, i used Wireshark to see what was going on, and it turns out that "Software Updates" is checking changelogs.ubuntu.com like this: GET /changelogs/pool/main/o/org.jessies.terminator/org.jessies.terminator_4.140.1914/changelog HTTP/1.1\r\n though, obviously, even though i could put that file on my own server, there's nothing i can do about changelogs.ubuntu.com. ideally there would be a mechanism for third-party package providers to provide change information to be displayed in the UI. (checking the source to "UpdateManager.py" confirms what Wireshark showed.) ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- changelogs.ubuntu.com isn't the right place for 3rd-party packages https://launchpad.net/bugs/80697 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
