But ohshite already prints strerror(errno), so it could eg print
dpkg: /var/lib/dpkg/status: No space left on device
dpkg: /var/lib/dpkg/available: No such file or repertory
instead of
dpkg: failed to write status record about `tcl8.4' to `/var/lib/dpkg/status':
No space left on device
dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' for reading:
No such file or repertory
in order to remove many cryptic error messages from PO files.
