    I do not see that version at https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/w/wget/

    1. What offered you a link to that URL?
    2. What version is actually installed?

    The subject: of an email should be used to summarize the reason for
    the email. The subject: should not be used for greetings,
    salutations, or stating problems. That corpus should go in the body
    of the email.

    Do you really not know how email works?

    That looks like the current bullseye version, so your course of action
    depends on how you got here.

    If you're still running bullseye and have wget installed, type:
    $ less /usr/share/doc/wget/changelog.Debian.gz
    or if not installed:
    $ apt changelog wget | less

    If you're not running bullseye, and don't mind being not quite up to
    date, just change the "u2" in the address to "u1" to get the previous
    version.

    Otherwise, the easiest way is probably to visit https://packages.debian.org/index and search for wget in bullseye.
    Download it and use mc (or ar and tar) to view the changelog.
    (Note it downloads from a different site.)

    Ii seems the link on https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/wget
    doesn't work. The package upgrade dates from April 20, well after
    bullseye ceased being supported by Debian. I assume there's no
    mechanism for feeding all the metadata from ancient packages back
    to ftp-master. Rather a waste of resources, I should think.

    Cheers,
    David.

    A bit uncalled for, looking at other threads from the OP (E.G: [1]) it
    looks like the salutation went in the wrong place.

    Right. The first time was not a one-off problem.

    Granted, Jef, my e-mail is as useless as yours, so lets move on and be mindful of the archive.

    It is time to correct behavior.
