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.
