Subject: Remove ending punctation from err messages
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5506e6294dcca1f8a3ad099139be51611ffe10ae;p=thirdparty%2Futil-linux.git

Remove ending punctation from err messages

Since err() appends more data separated by a colon, do not add a
fullstop to error message.
