[Bug 971508] [NEW] string freeze exception for error message

[Michael Vogt]

Public bug reported:

If sessioninstaller can not find a given pkg its currently doing nothing. This is not ideal as the user is in the dark about
what has happend.

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))
...
