It's telling the user exactly what it says. That the package previous was unselected, and is now being selected for installation. It's basically dpkg reporting on the toggling of /var/lib/dpkg/status states. It may not be the most informative thing ever to the average home user, but there's a reason why the terminal is hidden behind an expanding arrow in the GUIs. :)
Given that, as you say, the German translation being used here means "unselected", I'd say it's translated correctly compared to what the English is trying to convey. ** Changed in: ubuntu-translations Status: New => Invalid -- German translation of message during installation incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562586 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
