Bug#523634: update-manager: Could allow refreshing the changelog

[Luís Picciochi Oliveira]

Package: update-manager
Version: 0.68.debian-7
Severity: wishlist

When a package is selected on the update manager, the list of changes 
appears on the lowest part of the window. However, if there is a 
communication error or the network is unavailable for some reason, all 
that appears is a message saying:
"The list of changes is not available yet.
Please try again later."

That message then appears every time the same package is selected again 
and the only way to fetch the changelog again is by closing and 
reopening the Update Manager.

It would be nice if there was a refresh capability. I'd suggest having a 
button for that purpose, a right-click menu entry or allowing F5 to 
refresh the page (those were the first things I intuitively looked for).

Thanks,
Luís Picciochi
