blatant errors and awkward grammar

Bug Description

When performing a "Distribution Upgrade", a title-less dialog pops up with the following text:

"Replace the customized configuration file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc'?

You will loose all customizations, that have been made by yourself or by a script, if you replace the file by its latest version."

While the message is clear, there are a few grammatical errors that would polish things off a little if fixed.

A cleaned up version of the string:

"You will lose any changes you have made to this configuration file if you choose to replace it with a newer version."

Thanks for your bug report. I agree that your version of the string is better and should be included in the update-manager.
