I've added gettext context support, and addeed a "version" context to "<none>" and a "section" context to "<unknown>".

Anyway, I've split it now into an additional argument so it now ends up as something like: "%d expected program not found in PATH or not executable.\n%s" "%d expected programs not found in PATH or not executable.\n%s" and "Note: root's PATH should usually contain " "/usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin." thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
