And JFTR, I can confirm that the translations we ship with apt itself
are correct, so this really is a language pack-only issue.

Title:
  Incorrect Russian translation of "apt list --upgradeable" results

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Confirmed
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  bor@bor-Latitude-E5450:~$ apt list --upgradeable
  Вывод списка… Готово
  build/неизвестно 20161025 all [может быть обновлён до: 20151105]

  In Russian this means "version 20161025 can be upgraded TO version
  20151105)

  While original English says exactly opposite:

  bor@bor-Latitude-E5450:~$ LC_ALL=C LANG=C apt list --upgradeable
  Listing... Done
  build/unknown 20161025 all [upgradable from: 20151105]

  Literal translation (that does not require serious phrase change)
  would probably be

  "может быть обновлен с"

  although it sounds also artificial, as in Russian subject is package
  that is being updated (currently installed), not new version.
