For example, I guess the string "Could not find what packages require" could mean "I can't find out what some packages require that are already mentioned elsewhere" but it could also be "I can't find out which packages require (something else not mentioned)". The former should probably be phrased "Couldn't find what these packages require.", the latter "Couldn't find which packages require %1$s.": Note the complete sentences and the indexed placeholder in the second one which lets translators move around these things if necessary. Add a comment like "placeholder is a list of packages" to put icing on that ;-).
