[Emmanouil Maroudas]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello,

The changelog command line fails to fetch the changelog file from source
packages.

Example:
        $ aptitude changelog glibc
        Get: Changelog of glibc
        E: Couldn't find a changelog for glibc

After applying the attached patch:

        $ aptitude changelog glibc
        Get: Changelog of glibc
        # opens the pager as expected
