Bug Description

Looking at update-manager dialogs I noticed that canceled is spelled cancelled and canceled - so with 2 l's and with 1. I'm not certain if one is more correct than the other but it should at least be the same.

#: ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:956
msgid "Upgrade canceled"
msgstr ""

#: ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeView.py:379
msgid ""
"There are no upgrades available for your system. The upgrade will now be "
"canceled."
msgstr ""

#: ../DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeView.py:372
msgid ""
"Fetching and installing the upgrade can take several hours. Once the "
"download has finished, the process cannot be cancelled."
msgstr ""

looks like canceled is more consistent with what is there currently.

Apparently, canceled is the American spelling, and cancelled is British: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/canceled
