Not a bug. Kernel versioning is done upstream by Ubuntu, as are the changelogs.
There are various issues surrounding changelog display in Update Manager that could be improved. I've got a solution for that but it won't be available in 19.1 and may not ever be (not up to me).
Describe the bug In the Update Manager, the main list of available updates shows a version of 4.15.0.42.44. When I click the Changelog link for the 4.15.0-42 kernel in the Kernels dialog, it loads the page in firefox for the 4.15.0-42.45 version. The last part of the version number is different. Also the changelog output is different between the two. Together these make it appear that the Kernels dialog and the main list of available updates are out of sync.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior Overall I expected the version number and the changelog output to be identical between the various places they are provided so that the user experience of viewing and choosing a kernel update to apply is consistent.
I realize the changelog website might be providing more level of detail than the tab in the Update Manager, but I expected at least the versions to be the same.
