[lucid] "It is used by 1 piece of installed software."

[Shane Fagan]

Binary package hint: software-center

I came across a weird string in the software center in lucid. "It is used by 1 piece of installed software."
Its for the packages section and although it makes sense its still bad English. Ill attach a screenshot of the bug.

If someone can explain what this string is used for, I'll add (a reworded version of) it to the specification.

I made a patch to fix it. It changes the string to "installed packages" instead of "pieces of installed software"

[Shane Fagan (shanepatrickfagan)]

"installed software packages" is better.

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 1.1.1

software-center (1.1.1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Hide packages that are also part of a application. This
    means that abiword will only show up once in the center
    (as a application) and not as a package at all.
  * profiling and search improvements
  * merge lp:~benweissmann/software-center/search-greylist, many
    thanks
  * merge lp:~glatzor/software-center/glatzor, many thanks
  * softwarecenter/db/database.py:
    - support comma expansion as in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter
      under "Searching for multiple package names"
  * softwarecenter/distro/Ubuntu.py:
    - string fixes (thanks to shane fagan), LP: #493618
