Grml, missed bug #480000 :-(

Another minor issue: In methods/connect.cc, line 240:
return _error->Error(_("Unable to connect to %s %s:"),Host.c_str(),ServStr);

Host stands for the host and ServStr contains nearly always a port number.
Other strings look like:
return _error->Error(_("Something wicked happened resolving '%s:%s' (%i)"),
                                 Host.c_str(),ServStr,Res);

As you see, this one uses %s:%s and doesn't end with a colon, so I think
it should be "Unable to connect to %s:%s".

dselect/install contains in line 104:
"Please fix them and run [I]nstall again"

Mhm, I don't know any relation between dselect and APT but if the script
"install" is just a APT wrapper for old dselect compatibility you should
consider s/[I]nstall/install/ as [char]... occurs only once in all
messages and APT has no such menu [I]nstall.
