[update-manager] upgrade bug

[Tomáš Virgl]

Binary package hint: language-pack-sk

Ked sa kubuntu 8.10 updatuje na 9.04 v stavovom riadku sa vypisuje Zostáva približne x minút vsetko je v poriadku kym nenastane
1 minúta.
Vypise sa "Zostáva približne 1 minute".

[Pavol Klačanský (pavolzetor-deactivatedaccount)]

could you specify package? I don't have KDE :-(

[Tomáš Virgl (tomasvirgl)]

toto iste sa deje aj pri upgrade z 9.04 na 9.10 a este
"Zostáva približne 2 minúty", malo by byt "Zostávajú približne 2 minúty"

[Tomáš Virgl (tomasvirgl)]

nwm ako sa vola balik ale nazov okna je "Prechod na vyššiu verziu distribúcie"

[Tomáš Virgl (tomasvirgl)]

I found mistake in: "update-manager” See screenshot

[Pavol Klačanský (pavolzetor-deactivatedaccount)]

there don't have to be "%li", 'coz " 1 minuta" and "minuta" are similar and have same meaning, and the first problem, ehm, you should file bug to maintainer and tell him to change it (from string "%li minutes" to "Ramaining %li minutes")

[Pavol Klačanský (pavolzetor-deactivatedaccount)]

and "Zostavaju priblizne minuta" has been shown?

[Tomáš Virgl (tomasvirgl)]

No, I really don´t know where is the problem, but "Zostáva približne 1 minute" has shown.
English singular: %li minute
Slovak singular: minúta
So (from source http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/update-manager/lucid/annotate/head:/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeView.py)

if minutes > 0:
    map["str_minutes"] = ngettext("%li minute","%li minutes", minutes) % minutes

This seems to be stil in 10.04 also in Gtk version, see my screenshot below.

I think what developers did, was that they have split the string, however they have not made first part of string able to support plurals [1].

I have reported this as bug to update-manager [2] and also changed the name of this bug as it is not affecting only KDE.
