Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.4-4
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
is it possible for aptitude to use use the changelog installed with the
package in /usr/share/doc/* if fetching from the www fails?
This would be helpful if the package version the changelog was requested
from is is installed (or a newer one is installed) and
* the package is not an official debian package, so no changelog would
be displayed at all
* the changelog is not (yet) available online: bin-NMU, web not updated,
...
* network is currently down
Perhaps a note should be displayed that this is not neccessarily the
most recent changelog ...
IMHO, displaying something is betther than displaying nothing.
Andreas

Version: 0.5.1-1
Hi,
I added support for local changelogs in aptitude 0.5.1. This bug
wasn't closed because for some reason I couldn't find the bug number.
There are a few corner cases where it still won't work; they should
be fixed in the next release (mostly it's that aptitude checks first
whether the package is a Debian package, so non-Debian versions will
get the "not an official Debian package" message).
Thanks for the report,
Daniel
