Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

There is an error in one of the textstrings. It is number 98 in the translation.

"Please report this as a bug (if you haven't already) and include thefiles /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log in your report. The upgrade aborts now.
Your original sources.list was saved in /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade."
Located in ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewGtk.py:409

there should be a space between "the" and "files"

There is one more in this plural string

English singular:
"The package '%s' is in a inconsistent state and needs to be reinstalled, but no archive can be found for it. Do you want to remove this package now to continue?"

English plural:
"The packages '%s' is in a inconsistent state and needs to be reinstalled, but no archive can be found for it. Do you want to remove this package now to continue?"

Located in ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:76

The last part of the plural string is not plural, should be "these packages"

Thanks for your bugreport.

I fixed the two mistakes in my bzr tree and they will be part of the next upload to intrepid. Unfortunately fixing them in hardy is more difficult because that would break all the translations.

I don't know what the policy is on when to update dispite breaking translations and when not to, so that's up to you.
