Currently in the case of not availabe packages session-installer blindly calls aptdaemon and the user gets an aptdaemon message about a failed installation. The InstallPackageNames method is called by e.g. brasero to install cd burning tools. Therefore I would like to ask for a string freeze exception for sessioninstaller that adds following error message(s): ... + header = gettext.ngettext("Could not find requested package", + "Could not find requested packages", + len(failed_packages)) + if sender_name: + message = gettext.ngettext("%s requests to install the " + "following software package to " + "provide " + "additional features:", + "%s requests to install the " + "following " + "software packages to provide " + "additional features:", + len(packages)) % sender_name + else: + message = gettext.ngettext("The follwing software package " + "is required to provide " + "additional features but cannot " + "be installed:", + "The following software " + "packages are required to " + "provide " + "additional features but cannot " + "be installed:", + len(failed_packages)) ...
