Description of problem:

I'm unsure if this is the correct component to report this, but this morning I noticed that my yum update results in a list of packages to be updated, but some of them show incorrect grammar. Examples below:

---> Package xorg-x11-server-common.x86_64 0:1.11.4-1.fc16 will be an update

Several packages in the list appear to be appearing as:

"<packagename> will be an update"

instead of the correct:

"<packagename> will be updated"

Since this appears in multiple packages above, I elected to create a bug against the distribution component rather than individual components for each package that appears incorrectly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Unsure. Running Fedora 16 64-bit on a Lenovo T510 machine.

How reproducible:

Tried only once when updating.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo yum update.
2. Wait for list of packages to update to display.
3. Some packages display the incorrect display message.

no - that's correct.

---> Package cifs-utils.x86_64 0:5.2-1.fc16 will be updated
---> Package cifs-utils.x86_64 0:5.3-1.fc16 will be an update   <--- e.g.: THIS
ONE

cifs-utils-5.2-1.fc16 is being updated by the update cifs-utils-5.3-1.fc16


unless there is more nuance here I dont know what you're saying
