Thanks for the report.

I asked native speakers and they prefer the current form (without -ing)
than your proposed change.

However, they think that both are somewhat wrong (even if the original
was written by a native English speaker, AFAIK) and they suggested
another one, which I applied:

  _("Couldn't find any package whose name is \"%s\", but there are %zu packages which contain \"%s\" in their name:\n"),


Cheers.
