Title:
  string freeze exception for error message

Status in “sessioninstaller” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  
  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 "
  +                                           "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))
  ...
