[wpkg-users] patches for minor typos, status message suggestion

Hi, there are a few occurrences of "chained" misspelt as "chaned" both in comments and a log message (found while trying to write a log parser). wpkg-typos.diff fixes this. when using the sendStatus option, the status message during installation is "Install: verifying package ...". This maybe
