[Launchpad Bug Tracker <971508@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Martin Pitt (pitti):


To show the human readable name/description and information about possible restrictions in use (patents or copyright) of to be installed packages by the InstallPackageNames  method, session-installer needs to handle the case if the packages aren't available at all.

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 "

+                                           "additional features:",
+                                           len(packages)) % sender_name
+            else:
+                message = gettext.ngettext("The follwing software package "
+                                           "is required to provide "
+                                           "additional features but cannot "
+                                           "be installed:",

+                                           "packages are required to "
+                                           "provide "
+                                           "additional features but cannot "
+                                           "be installed:",
+                                           len(failed_packages))
...
