Bug#479997: APT: A few problematic strings



Package: apt
Version: 0.7.14
Tags: l10n
Severity: minor

Hi,

during the proofread of the APT translation, the German team found some
issues with strings as used by APT.

#: dselect/install:91                                                                                                     
msgid "Do you want to erase any previously downloaded .deb files?"                                                        

"Any fileS" is wrong, it should probably be "All files" ("any file" is
unlikely as apt-get clean is called in source).

#: dselect/install:101
msgid "Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the"
#: dselect/install:102
msgid "packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors"
#: dselect/install:103
msgid "or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors"
...

This should be merged into a single message.

#: cmdline/apt-cdrom.cc:78                                                                                                  
msgid "Please provide a name for this Disc, such as 'Debian 2.1r1 Disk 1'"

Feel free to bump the version :-)

#: methods/ftp.cc:1109                                                                                                      
msgid "Unable to invoke "

Should be changed into "Unable to invoke %s".

#: apt-pkg/pkgcache.cc:226                                                                                                  
msgid "Obsoletes" 
(quote from source: "a string describing the dep type",
const char *Types[] = {"",_("Depends"),_("PreDepends"),_("Suggests"),
                          _("Recommends"),_("Conflicts"),_("Replaces"),
                          _("Obsoletes"),_("Breaks")})

Most changes can be unfuzzied so that it should not affect translations.
