From fc14ceba5e545a0e0f61e7a9fe562c79671258ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benno Schulenberg Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 21:21:48 +0100 Subject: textual: grammarize and harmonize the stat error message The message "stat failed %s" seems to say that stat() failed to do something, or failed to pass a test, but of course it means that the statting of something failed. So say so. Also make two very similar messages equal to this one.
