Package: update-manager-gnome
Version: 0.200.4-1
Severity: normal

The dialog with this title "Upgrading may require removal or installation of new packages." 
get the followed question "Do you want to perform a safe-upgrade, which does not 
remove packages or install new ones?" (untranslated in french language, other bug). The two 
button for the answer is No and Yes (for my french choice is Non and Oui). This question
is not clear. First, I read this as "Do you want remove packages or do you want install new ones?".

Result: The No choice unselect some packages, so it is the safe-upgrade.

Instead, the question should be:
"A safe-upgrade does not remove packages or does not install new ones. Do you want to perform
a safe-upgrade ?" Yes should be the safe answer.
