Indeed. Should be

"Bevestigd! Er is iets ergs gebeurd bij het installeren van pakketten. Er
wordt geprobeerd van te herstellen:"

The text as it appears now was a joke from me in a review of the
original text as Luk wrote it; he made a typo (forgot the "s" at the end
of "iets"), which happens to be a word in the Antwerp dialect.

The text has no business in the final translation; apparently Luk didn't
understand that I had meant it as a joke.

Well, the first sentence is indeed the Antwerp dialect. Luk wrote the
second sentence, and he's from Gent, I believe.

Rg,

Wouter (who'll be more careful with jokes in the future)
