Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.4 Severity: minor Tags: patch While continuing in the German translation, I noticed several minor inconsistencies and errors listed below, some with a suggested fix. I do have write access to the repository, but I don't know (yet) how to handle these errors, especially since some might need discussion (e.g. spelling of compound words, usage of white space around punctuation, ...); especially since I will come up with more improvements later, I guess.

-"Turn certain errors into warnings. Only dpkg-source uses this, but B<dpkg-"
+"Turn certain errors into warnings. Only B<dpkg-source> uses this, but B<dpkg-"
#] If no second argument is supplied then ... or the empty string (no
original source, and so no diff) depending on the arguments.
First, s/depending on the arguments/depending on the first argument/
and secondly looking for an "empty string" (instead of a file) sound a
little strange.
#]
-"If I<filename> ends in B<.gz> , it is taken to refer to a file compressed "
+"If I<filename> ends in B<.gz>, it is taken to refer to a file compressed "
I am not sure, if a comma is needed at all.
#]
-"Specifies that the B<dir> file is, and the installed copy of the new Info "
-"file was, is or will be located in I<infodir>. The default is B</usr/share/"
+"Specifies that the B<dir> file is or will be, and the installed copy of the
new Info "
+"file was, located in I<infodir>. The default is B</usr/share/"
#]
-msgid "Print a similar command to B<-s> but to unset all variables."
+msgid "Print a similar command to B<-s> but unset all variables."
I'd rather say "and" instead of "but".
#] Sometimes "command line", sometimes "commandline"
#] One or two spaces after fullstop sometimes
