Dear Braun,

 I have received a notification:
 
 There is 2 updates and 2 security updates available
 
 (There was no dot at the end of the sentence, and the verb was is.)
 However, there were only 2 updates available, both of which were security.
 So the sentence is misleading.  It would have been better to say:
 
 There are 2 security updates available.

thank you for reporting above problems, the is vs. are was already fixed,
though that hasn't reached stable. The remaining issues are fixed in the Git
repository and will be included in the next upload. Please note, that it might
take a while longer until this reaches stable.

Kind regards,
Kai Wasserbäch

[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#613529: update-notifier-kde: Incorrectly states the number of updates

[Braun Gábor]

Package: update-notifier-kde
Version: 1.2
Severity: normal

I have received a notification:

There is 2 updates and 2 security updates available

(There was no dot at the end of the sentence, and the verb was is.)
However, there were only 2 updates available, both of which were security.
So the sentence is misleading.  It would have been better to say:

There are 2 security updates available.

Some suggestion to clearly state the number of available updates:

There is 1 security update available.
There are 4 non-security updates available.
There are 3 updates available, of which 2 are security.
There are 2 security updates and 7 others available.

Best wishes,

Gábor Braun
