Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

We (the Ubuntu Italian team) are experiencing a really strange behavior
for Update Manager in Edgy with the Italian language.

1. Using the MO file shipped with the latest language pack, the progress
dialog after fetching new package should display the string

   Attendere, l'operazione potrebbe richiedere del tempo

But it shows

   Attendere, loperazione

(note the missing '). The original C message is "Please wait, this can
take some time."

2. I tried to hack this issue using `mgsunfmt` command to re-generate
the PO file from the installed MO file, then editing the previous
message and finally recreating the MO file using `mgsfmt` comman.

After copying the new MO file in /usr/../LC_MESSAGES/update-manager.mo,
Update Manager is unable to perform updated. When some updates are
available, clicking on "Install" button Update Manager simply performs
the check that it runs on startup, showing the progess dialog labeled as
"Starting update manager". I'm no longer able to update my system using
it, while synaptic and update-notifier can.

3. Restoring the MO file from langpack (using `apt-get --reinstall
install`), I can update the system, but the truncated message appears
again.
