This and the other one on setup.c both look good changes, but it's
not like these messages are new breakages in the upcoming release
whose -rc0 has already been tagged and call for help to translators
has been issued, on which presumably translators are already
working.

So please hold onto these patches until final; I might pick them up
and keep them in 'seen' but I may not, and I do not want to see them
lost.

Thanks.

This change to past-tense makes sense to me.

Thanks,

 From descriptive to null-subject past tense, right?

I'm not sure what the best way is to describe the grammar here. I
would say that the "ed" makes it clear that the message is a
description of what did happen rather than an imperative command
concerning what should happen.

Looks OK.

So the error had happened, and we needed to express the situation.
Because it happened on the past, using past tense was obviously the
right thing.
