Bug#238505: lib/dump.c:279: writedb: words "available" and "status" are not translatable

[Ruslan Batdalov <linnando@tolkien.ru>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.19
Severity: minor

Function writedb() contains a local variable `which' having
one of two possible values: "available" or "status". This
variable is used in gettextized strings later in the function.
But `which' itself is not gettextized that produce ugly
translations. I think the attached patch should be applied.
