Binary package hint: adept-manager
Using Kubuntu 7.04 up-to-date.
In Adept Manager 2.1 Cruiser (KDE 3.5.6) select any package, the press "Details" button and go to the "Developer Changelog" tab.
After a while the message "Unable to fetch the Developer Changelog.: Host changelogs.ubuntu.com not found" is always shown.
I'm working behind a firewall and I'm connected to internet through a proxy server supporting web protocols (but no socks). I setup this in /etc/apt/apt.conf, ~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc, /root/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc. I can install/upgrade any package from inside Adept Manager but I'm not able to read changelogs, though the URI http://changelogs.ubuntu.com can be browsed without problems outside Adept Manager.

I spoke with Michael about this and he says it works, however I haven't had luck with it as of yet. It could very well be because I have dist-upgraded since Dapper or Breezy and there is a hung configuration somewhere.
