Title:
Restart notification after update contains a grammar error
Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager
After installing updates requiring a restart (kernel update, etc.), a
notification box appears saying:
"To complete your system update, please restart it."
Here "it" can only refer to the unique noun phrase in the preceding
clause, namely "system update". But the system update does not need to
be restarted; it is the *system* that needs to be restarted. The
following wording would be correct:
"To finish updating your system, please restart it."
