Nah, just change the text in the Usage from

If you are using the RPM distributions then try this:

to

If you are using the RPM distributions, and have a langauges.rpmnew
file,  then try this:

or change the sugegsted commands to

upgrade_languages_conf languages.conf languages.conf.rpmnew > languages.new
test -f languages.conf.rpmnew && mv -f languages.conf languages.old
test -f languages.conf.rpmnew && mv -f languages.new  languages.conf
&& rm -f languages.conf.rpmnew

... The final rm could of course be an "mv -f langages.conf.rpmnew
languages.conf.rpmnew.done", so that one don't lose the rpmnew file...
It's just a suggestion though:-).
