Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewGtk.py contains those strings:
msgid "%s package is going to be removed."
msgid_plural "%s packages are going to be removed."
msgid "%s new package is going to be installed."
msgid_plural "%s new packages are going to be installed."
msgid "%s package is going to be upgraded."
msgid_plural "%s packages are going to be upgraded."
"You have to download a total of %s. "
The %s indicates that a string will be substituted, so the french
translators assumed this was going to be substituted with actual package
names, while it's actually only a count of packages of each type. Using
%d instead of %s would have avoided that mistake.
** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Importance: Untriaged
Status: Unconfirmed

Use of %s instead of %d led to translator confusion
