[Bug 828285] [NEW] "Authentication to write a new APT configuration" is geeky

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Public bug reported:

software-properties-gtk 0.81.8, Ubuntu Ocelot

1. In "Software Sources", check or uncheck any of the checkboxes.

What happens: An alert appears saying "Authentication to write a new APT
configuration".

What should happen: The alert should use less jargon. aptdaemon already
has a less geeky string for this exact purpose: "To change software
repository settings, you need to authenticate."

** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
