"deps" is really technobabble that probably is less understandable than a
spelled out "dependencies" to most people. Hence, it really is unsuited to be
used in user-visible messages.

"deps" is also more difficult to translate.

"deps" is also inconsistent with most other messages in anaconda that use the
full word "dependencies".

Comment 1 Christian Rose 2003-09-15 20:17:00 UTC
Mea culpa -- it was up2date, not anaconda.

Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2003-09-15 21:02:27 UTC
