requestsync is dependent on a Debian batch process

requestsync either uses "rmadison" to query the package versions in Debian or Ubuntu or queries LP about those versions if '--lp' is specified. But in both cases it needs http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/ to fetch the new changelog entries as required by our current processes (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess#Content%20of%20a%20sync%20request). So you need to wait till those get updated (unless you know an other easy way to get those new entries).

I've updated requestsync in bzr to have a '-C' option that allows a changelog to be manually added if it's missing from the Debian packages site.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-dev-tools - 0.93

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.93) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Scott Moser ]
  * rename mk-sbuild-lv to mk-sbuild, support union-type=aufs

  [ Emmet Hikory ]
  * Support qemu-arm-static -> qemu-kvm-extras-static transition
  * mk-sbuild: automatically install qemu-kvm-extras-static if requested
  * mk-sbuild: conditionally install lvm2 only for lvm-snapshot schroots
  * mk-sbuild: rationalise architecture variables
  * mk-sbuild: Generalise --type support and add "file" SCHROOT_TYPE
  * mk-sbuild.1: Document the --type argument

  [ Loïc Minier ]
  * Demote qemu-kvm-extras-static to a Suggests since most people don't build
    for armel.

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * requestsync: add -C to allow manually adding changelog when missing
    (LP: #518574).
  * mk-sbuild: clean up and make slight adjustments to new lvm/dir/file logic.
  * mk-sbuild.1: update documentation to reflect alternative config file
    names for distro and schroot type overrides.
  * mk-sbuild, docs/mk-sbuild.1: document DEBOOTSTRAP_MIRROR for good
    measure, thanks to Paul Holcomb.

  [ Michael Bienia ]
  * ubuntutools/requestsync/mail.py: Encode the report to utf-8 before passing
    it to gpg for signing (LP: #522316).
  * Add support for the other LP service roots (edge is still default)
  * Depend on python-launchpadlib >= 1.5.4
  * Also check package sets for upload permissions.
  * lp-set-dup: Don't crash when accessing private bugs (LP: #525539)
  * requestsync: Subscribe 'ubuntu-release' to Feature Freeze exceptions
    (updated to current policy; LP: #532740)

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * edit-patch: add wrapper around cdbs-edit-patch, dpatch-edit-patch, quilt
    to transparently deal with the various patch systems.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * lp-shell: Disable default apport excepthook, as this is intended for
    interactive use.
