[Bug 1010953] [NEW] No update descriptions available

[Michael Färber]

Public bug reported:

Since some time, when updated packages are available in Update Manager, it doesn't show release information for a vast majority of packages anymore, just a text that the list of modifications is not available yet. However, even after waiting for some days, this doesn't change.
Clicking the Launchpad link shows the release information, though.
At the moment, I can only see release information for 2 out of 54 updateable packages, which are: libcairo-gobject2 and libcairo2.
I already tried changing the download server from Austria to France, but that didn't fix the problem.

Thanks for looking at this problem. I added a screenshot to illustrate
the problem.
