Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Update manager always strips the epoch off the srcver for use in the uri of the changelogs at changelogs.ubuntu.com, but if it is unable to get the changelog, it'll provide a link to it on launchpad. The problem is the launchpad uri's do not have the epoch stripped, resulting in the uri being incorrect for some packages.

Example for update-manger package.

Changelog uri provided: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/0.93.14/+changelog

Correct changelog uri: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/1:0.93.14/+changelog

After applying the patch i get the following Traceback:

Unhandled exception in thread started by <bound method MyCache.get_changelog of <UpdateManager.UpdateManager.MyCache object at 0x923994c>>

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'srcver_epoch' referenced before assignment

Not all packages need the epoch stripping, which meant the srcver_epoch variable wasn't always getting set. Moving 'srcver_epoch = srcver' before the if statement worked fine for me.
