Bug#665833: Minor grammatical inconsistency
package: apt-utils
version:: 0.8.15.10
Here is some of the output of apt-get install:
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
libkpathsea5
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Normally if there were several orphans the output would be something like:
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
gnome-session-canberra gcalctool telepathy-logger gnome-backgrounds
telepathy-gabble gnome-search-tool baobab libkpathsea5
network-manager-gnome
gnome-system-log gucharmap libgeocode-glib0 gnome-disk-utility
gnome-icon-theme-extras libtelepathy-farsight0 empathy-common
freedesktop-sound-theme empathy libgdict-1.0-6 telepathy-salut
gnome-screenshot libgdu-gtk0 libchamplain-0.12-0 gnome-packagekit-data
fonts-cantarell libavahi-ui-gtk3-0 vino gnome-utils-common gnome-dictionary
gnome-font-viewer gnome-packagekit dconf-tools libchamplain-gtk-0.12-0
nautilus-sendto-empathy
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Thus for consistency either:
1. Make the first line in the single orphan case say "The following
packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:" just
like in the multi orphan case.
or
2. Make the last line in the single orphan case say "Use 'apt-get
autoremove' to remove it".
I realize you folks probably have bigger fish to fry but minor grammatical
fixes would also be appreciated by users I'm sure.
