nonsensical message: "Hopelessly many bad sectors has been detected"

[C de-Avillez]

While looking at installation errors, we hit one where this message was output. Two issues there:

1. "hopelessly many bad sectors..." is sort of lacking meaning, and can be safely replaced by a simple "Too many bad sectors..."
2. concordance: "... many bad sectors has..." should be "...many bad sectors have..."

Upstream seems to believe that this is proper English.

A new version of ntfs-3g has been issued yesterday. ;-) Just in case you'd like to see if this was fixed.

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

This bug has been fixed by upstream as of ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2012.1.15.

@Flames_in_paradise: thank you for the heads-up.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Quantal Quetzal.

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "Requesting a Backport" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport
