Bug Description

In the DistUpgradeQuirks.py there is a translatable string related to ARMv6 architecture that is not very clear.

The string is:

Your system uses an ARM CPU that is older than the ARMv6 architecture. All packages in karmic were build with, optimizations requiring ARMv6 as the minimal architecture, i can not upgrade your system to karmic on your hardware.

There is also a coma after "with" in the second sentence that is confusing.

I'm attaching a patch with a review of the string.

One question: the "karmic" reference in this string, shouldn't be replaced with "Ubuntu 9.10" or this string is supposed to disappear in the future?

Thanks for your bugreport and your string suggestion.

"Your system uses an ARM CPU that is older "
                      "than the ARMv6 architecture. "
                      "All packages in karmic were built with "
                      "optimizations requiring ARMv6 as the "
                      "minimal architecture. It is not possible to "
                      "upgrade your system to a new Ubuntu release "
                      "with this hardware."

I changed the string to avoid karmic and 9.10 and hope its clearer now.
