retitle 665833 Should use gettext plural form in "Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them" message thanks Quoting georgiytreyvus@riseup.net (georgiytreyvus@riseup.net): > 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. Thanks for noticing, it seems that nobody noticed until now. Moreover, this makes things even worse in languages where there are more than 2 plural forms (such as many slavic languages). This is a typical case where the use of Plural-Forms has been forgotten, in the second string. { if (smallList == false) ShowList(c1out, P_("The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:", "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:", autoRemoveCount), autoremovelist, autoremoveversions); else ioprintf(c1out, P_("%lu package was automatically installed and is no longer required.\n", "%lu packages were automatically installed and are no longer required.\n", autoRemoveCount), autoRemoveCount); c1out << _("Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.") << std::endl; } Here, the second string should use the magic used in the first one. Hence retitling the bug...
