*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 362443 ***

Daniel...I'm new at Debian/Ubuntu, so just trying to learn the proper
bug etiquette. Thanks for alerting me to the duplicate--I had
searched for "changelog" but hadn't found your bug.
I was initially hesitant to report this bug against aptitude, since
(in the case of my bug) I don't think it's an aptitude issue: the
changelogs for the packages I reported don't exist on the server at
all--thus aptitude cannot fetch them. The problem I reported seems to
be an issue with what seems like a change in the way in which Ubuntu
is packaging updates.
In my case, I can see changelogs for older updates with aptitude, even
for the same packages for which newer changelogs are not available.
Thus I think aptitude is working OK.
Also, as an aside, is this why you marked my other bugs "rejected"?
(Why not at least duplicates?) I was trying to alert whoever is
packaging those updates that there is a problem.
Thanks,
Sam
