bug#13409: [patch] make some error messages clearer

Hi,

Several error messages in some of the utilities say things
like "reading %s".  They sound like progress messages, and
translators might be tempted to translate them as if they
said "busy reading %s" -- whereas I think they are trying
to say "error while reading %s".

Attached patch suggests improvements for a bunch of those
messages.

Regards,

Benno
