profanity depends on libstrophe.

The english version is correct:
# pacman -R libstrophe
--> :: profanity: removing libstrophe breaks dependency 'libstrophe'

The german translation is wrong:
# pacman -R libstrophe
--> :: profanity: das Entfernen von libstrophe löscht ein benötigtes Packet von 'libstrophe'

The german text above actually means: :: profanity: removing libstrophe deletes a package required by 'libstrophe'

It should be something like:
:: profanity: das Entfernen von libstrophe löscht das benötigte Packet 'libstrophe'
This task depends upon

Went ahead and suggested the following on transifex:

[228] %s: das Entfernen von %s löscht ein davon abhängendes Paket '%s'
[255] %s: das Installieren von %s (%s) löscht ein davon abhängendes Paket '%s'

Notice how the German language kind of forces you to use a passive here?

EDIT: sorry. I misunderstood the problem. Will follow-up with a "real" solution.

There we go:

[228] %s: das Entfernen von %s verletzt Abhängigkeit von '%s'
[255] %s: das Installieren von %s (%s) verletzt Abhängigkeit von '%s'

cheers!
