hello everyone,

In update manager when I try to view the changes of a package it gives
me the message "Failed to download the list of changes. Please check
your Internet connection". I think there is no problem with my
connection. Is this a bug and how can I view the changelog of trisquel
packages?

Were you connected to the Internet? For instance, were you able to visit a Web page?

APT's logs are in /var/log/apt (probably what you are looking for). dpkg's logs directly are in /var/log. The Changelogs of the individual packages are in the subdirectories of /usr/share/doc.

Yes, my internet connection is fine.

I waw looking for changelogs of the packages that I was going to upgrade
(for example abrowser). I was able to find them in /usr/share/doc/ as
you said but the update-manager does not display them. If I run it from
terminal it outputs the following: "caught exception: HTTP Error 404:
Not Found"

It's no big deal now that I know where to find them (there are other
places also) but I guess it's something to fix in update-manager.

I do not quite understand what you are trying to do. Just read /usr/share/doc/abrowser/changelog.Debian.gz (e.g., with the 'less' command)?
