Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.0~ubuntu7 Severity: minor Tags: l10n The message issued at each package installation says: "Selecting previously deselected package <packagename>"
The word "deselected" should read "unselected". "Deselected" implies that it *was* selected at some previous time, but that this was later reversed (which is possible, but rare in normal usage). "Unselected" is neutral, and simply says "this package was not selected". I have noticed that new users have concerns about "deselected" because of the implication that the package might have been selected before, at some stage, unknown to them. Making this change would simply remove a point of contention. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers natty-updates APT policy: (500, 'natty-updates'), (500, 'natty-security'), (500, 'natty') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 8.5-1ubuntu6 GNU core utilities ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6ubuntu1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.13-0ubuntu13 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1ubuntu2 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii xz-utils 5.0.0-2 XZ-format compression utilities ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu3 compression library - runtime dpkg recommends no packages.
