Bug Description

When upgrading from hardy to intrepid, if the upgrade is cancelled while packages are being downloaded, the following error message is given.

Could not download the upgrades
The upgrade aborts now. Please check your Internet connection or installation media and try again. All files downloaded so far are kept.

This is grammatically incorrect, it would be better as:

Could not download the upgrades
The upgrade is now aborted. Please check your Internet connection or installation media and try again. All files downloaded so far will be kept.

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:
    - enable apport crash capturing during upgrades
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeView.py:
    - create /var/lib/pycentral/pkgremove before the upgrade to
      help pycentral transition to the new python policy (thanks
      to doko)
  * ensure pidgin-libnotify is ugpraded (LP: #332328)
  * better wording for aborts (thanks to Gabor Kelemen and
    Jean-Baptiste Lallement), LP: #289303
  * wording fixes, thanks to Brian Murray and Gabor Kelemen
    LP: #269583
  * i18n fix, thanks to Gabor Kelemen, LP: #331821
  * support /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/ directory
    for local overrides of the upgrade process. Useful to force
    certain site-specific options (like third party repository
    handling)
  * allow "[FreeSpace]\nSkipCheck=yes" override to skip free
    space checks (useful for testing)
  * support "[Sources"]\nAllowThirdParty=yes" override to skip
    commenting out of unknown repositories (LP: #147080)
  * debian/*.install:
    - updated for the new python layout (/u/l/p/dist-packages instead of
      /u/l/p/site-packages)
  * debian/rules:
    - use DH_PYCENTRAL=include-links instead of "nomove"
    - use "--install-layout=deb" in distutils
  * debian/control:
    - use "XS-Python-Version: all" instead of current
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py:
    - fix modalias path in NvidiaDetector
  * data/glade/UpdateManager.glade:
    - add "settings" button
  * UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py:
    - open software-properties when settings button
      is clicked (LP: #334959)
    - keep track of launch times via gconf
      (/apps/update-manager/launch_time)
  * debian/control:
    - recommend software-properties-gtk

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * DistUpgrade/multiple files:
    - fixed typographical error
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewText.py:
    - change "Restart required" default to N (LP: #328452)
