[packagekit] some translation issues...

... i ran into when i tried to translate gnome-packagekit:

"package ID" vs "packageID"

#: ../src/pk-common-gui.c:487
msgid ""
"The package list needs to be rebuilt\n"
"TODO:how?."

i don't think you want the TODO being part of the user-visible string.

#: ../data/pk-progress.glade.h:2
msgid "Part Progress:"

what is "part" here?

#: ../data/pk-backend-status.glade.h:23
msgid "Repo Enable:"
#: ../data/pk-backend-status.glade.h:24
msgid "Repo Set Data:"

what's a "repo enable"? what is "set data"? if i don't get the context
it's likely that i translate it wrong.

#: ../src/pk-update-viewer.c:403
msgid "Obsoletes"

is that the header of a column that displays the current installed
version? having a comment would make it easier, again.

#: ../src/pk-backend-status.c:123
msgid "Exiting on failure\n"

is that a boolean, like "close the application if an error occurs"?

#: ../src/pk-common-gui.c:822 ../src/pk-common-gui.c:899
msgid "Unknown role"
what is a role here? whose role?
